Jobs & Appointments

The selected candidate will be appointed a part-time position (0,5 fte) as a Forsker/Researcher in the NORCE Kristiansand office. The working language is English, although knowledge of or willingness to learn Norwegian will be an additional advantage.

We are looking for a researcher to complement our Modelling and Simulation team. Initially, the successful candidate will be responsible for programming agent-based models of urban logistic systems in a H2020 grant that brings together indust[…]

Cirad recruits a computer scientist to work on CORMAS, an ABM platform oriented towards participatory modelling (co-design of models and interactive simulation).
You will be in charge of developing CORMAS in the Pharo environment. As participation is the essence of CORMAS, its development requires theoretical and operational knowledge of Human-Machine Interfaces to reuse technologies and design ergonomic systems.

TU Delft has an opening for a postdoctoral research fellow at the intersection of social simulation and high-performance algorithms. The goal of project is to develop methods to speed large-scale agent-based modelling (ABMs), for example by means of effective parallelization using High Performance Computing (HPC). The use of machine learning for efficient ABM simulations will enable uncertainty and global sensitivity analysis of large ensembles of ABM runs. The postdoc will use the HPC c[…]

ABM Postdoc researcher at the University of Namur (Belgium)
MAPPY project funded by AXIS/JPI-Climate
Full time position - 10 months

Two fully-funded PhD scholarships are available in agent-based modelling to explore interventions to increase cycling as an active, safe, and sustainable mode of transport. The PhD programs will be hosted by the Sustainable Mobility and Safety Research Group in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University.

The central goal of these PhD programs is to advance the understanding of how interventions (e.g. infrastructure, behaviour change campaigns, equipment, finan[…]

We are seeking a post-doctoral research fellow for a 1-year appointment with the possibility for a further 1-year renewal, to develop an application of the MIDAS (Migration, Intensification, and Diversification as Adaptive Strategies) modeling framework to examine influences of environmental variability on migration flows in West Africa. The successful candidate will work with a team of researchers from BU, NYU, and Columbia University.

Dear colleagues (apologies for cross-posting),

Please feel free to circulate the following job opportunities among your peers.

I am looking to hire three postdocs in Computational Social Science at The Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and AI. They will work as part of the Policy Modelling Theme, in an exciting research environment, and with a unique opportunity to have impact in real-world policymaking. These positions are for two years and take place […]

The Department of Geography of the University of Namur (located approx. 1 hour from Brussels) is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to work in the framework of the MAPPY project funded by AXIS/JPI-Climate (http://www.jpiclimate.eu/AXIS/Activities/MAPPY). This project studies the interactions between pollinators, plant diversity and crop yields, under climate and land use change. The hired researcher will continue the development of an agent-based model (ABM) to derive high-resolution land use[…]

The Department of Geography at the University at Buffalo (UB) invites applicants for a postdoctoral researcher position with broad interests in urban analytics with a particular emphasis on modeling and simulation.
