Jobs & Appointments

Two five-year positions supported by the National Science Foundation and The Ohio State University for an interdisciplinary research project that examines the environmental conditions that lead to human territorial behavior in pastoral ecosystems as well as how territoriality shapes the environment. Based in the Dhufar highlands of Southern Oman, the project will provide new insights into whether the dynamics of woodland-grassland-woodland cycling are coupled with pulses in human […]

We are about to start a 3-year grant funded by the Qatar National Research Fund on modeling the adoption of residential solar photovoltaic systems in collaboration with the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center in Riyadh. The project will develop a decision-support software platform to test policy scenarios aimed at promoting the adoption of residential solar energy systems in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We are looking for an expert on agent-based modeling with background in […]

We experience increasing interest in our services related to agent based modeling. Therefore our Ecology and Environment Department is seeking an enthusiastic and talented colleague with a background in aquatic ecology and ecological modelling to strengthen our competencies in agent based modeling. The position is based in our office in Hørsholm, Denmark. We undertake consultancy and research projects applying and developing agent based models for a variety of questions. This involves the […]

Webster Faculty in the Ecology, Evolution, Ecosystems, and Society (EEES) Program at Dartmouth College are seeking applications for a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher with interest in spatially-explicit computational modeling of dynamic social-ecological systems. Led by an interdisciplinary team of researchers, this project will examine […]

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, […]

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) for a new interdisciplinary project to build an agent-based model (ABM) to represent the extraction of fish by fishing vessels in open ocean fisheries and the associated effects on ocean ecological systems. The goal of this effort will be to identify pragmatic fisheries management strategies tailored both to the complexity of the ocean ecosystem, and the limitations of the relevant social, economic and regulatory systems. The PDRA […]

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and the New Jersey Agricultural Research Station, through the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources, invites applications for a 18 month-2-year post-doctoral appointment as part of the Center for Resilient Landscapes collaboration with the USDA Forest Service (USDA-FS), beginning as soon as February 2015. The appointee will work on developing an applied socio-ecological simulation model of governance and ecological processes to […]

I am seeking one to two Ph.D. students interested in modeling socioecological systems to take part in an NSF-funded interdisciplinary project on participatory-ensemble modeling to study the multiscale social and behavioral dynamics of food security. The project summary can be found here: http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1416730. The Ph.D. students will be responsible for the development of agent-based models to simulate the spatial and temporal variability of food access in […]
