The National Laboratory of Public Policy (LNPP) is hiring two research assistants for its simulation unit (USim). The simulation unit is dedicated to the development and active use of simulation models for the analysis, evaluation and improvement of public policies. The goal is to develop models that are as close as possible to the context of the study and allow us to analyse effects of public policies ex-ante. The unit specialises in agent-based modelling but is open to other techniques […]

Center for Mind and Culture, Boston The Center for Mind and Culture (CMAC) is a non-profit think tank conducting non-partisan research into aspects of the mind-culture nexus (see www.mindandculture.org). CMAC is seeking a post-doctoral research fellow expert in modeling and simulation and interested in applying those techniques to religious cognition and behavior, immigration and integration, and related areas. Java and NetLogo are the principle coding languages in use on this project. […]

A PhD Contract for an outstanding candidate to undertake research in multi-agent coordination applied to smart buildings The expected outcome of the research is a PhD dissertation concerning the development of distributed scalable and robust algorithms to coordinate multiple agents in open large smart buildings. Topics of interest for the research include distributed and decentralized exact and heuristic optimization, multi-agent systems, semantic technologies and data stream processing, […]

We are seeking two post-doctoral researchers for a three year ESRC funded project that aims to make it easier and more productive for social researchers to use the fixed and mobile digital sensors (including energy and ambient fixed sensors, and sensors in mobile phones) that are becoming available from the Internet of Things and ubiquitous computing. The project, ‘HomeSense: digital sensors for social research’ has recently been funded under the National Centre for Research Methods’ call […]

Computational modeling of spatial and temporal dynamics of responsive governance in aquatic systems PIs: Kathy Cottingham, Mark Borsuk, and D.G. 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, […]
