The Cooperative Multi-Agent System (SMAC) group of the IRIT Lab in Toulouse, France is offering 2 PhD positions: both positions are related to the ANR Project GEN* (http://www.genstar.fr) which aims at providing tools and methods for the generation on synthetic populations for agent-based social simulations. The PhDs will conduct their research at the University Toulouse 1 Capitole (http://www.ut-capitole.fr) in the IRIT laboratory (http://www.irit.fr). Position 1: Models for the […]

RA needed briefly to help code and debug a simulation in Netlogo implementing an algorithm modeling firms’ innovations and the development of an industry in particular locations. I’ve already written pseudocode for the algorithm – just need some help translating it into real code that will actually compile. Must have experience with Netlogo and availability in June or July. Hours and location flexible. To apply, please email Russell Golman and describe your programming experience and your […]

We are seeking a Post Doctoral Researcher to join an international project on the development of methods for analysis and visualization of ‘big data’ from computational agent-based models (ABMs) of coupled human-natural systems. This vacancy is part of a multidisciplinary multinational MIRACLE project (MIning Relationships Among variables in large datasets from CompLEx systems). MIRACLE is a joint project between the Center for Social Dynamics & Complexity at the Arizona State University […]

Professor of Marketing has a short term project which requires taking Netlogo code of another programmer and writing modifications to it. I understand it might just ‘be easier’ to rewrite the code but given this model has been verified with past studies, I prefer to use this model. Need to have revised model by mid-January. Original programmer has left academia and is no longer available for consultation. If you are up for the challenge, send me your CV and your hourly rate. I expect there […]
