3-year Postdoc opportunity in an ERC-funded research project to support the development of a complexity-informed theory of law and finance that can inform climate change policy.

The successful candidate will develop a novel Agent-Based Model (ABM) coded in Python to simulate how uncertainties from climate-related shocks cascade through the global financial system. You will explore the potential benefits of ABM beyond existing optimization paradigms in terms of incorporating uncertainty in cascading climate shocks. Your research will move beyond mapping cascades emerging from climate shocks and quantify the uncertainty they generate.

See description.

We are looking for a qualified person to coordinate and lead the development of data-driven analytical approaches to assess agricultural risk and risk-reduction interventions. The position will also provide thought leadership on new directions for CIAT’s data science research on agricultural risk management, financial services for agriculture (e.g. credit and insurance), and climate finance. The position will be full-time and based in Nairobi, Kenya, but will have a global mandate.

1. Uses a high degree of concentration to plan, develop, build, test, validate and operate multiscale agent-based simulation models for a variety of nonlinear, time-based problems within ALSAC, drawing on a current inventory of predictive models as well as exploratory work. Multiscale agent-based simulation models for strategic and/or tactical applications in Java or C++ produce system-level financial and other outputs (metrics, forecasts) based on (a) consumer econometrics, algorithms, […]
