Jobs & Appointments

We are seeking a research assistant for a 6-month contract starting in August 2020.

A goal of the project “Towards More Reliable Predictions: Multi-model Ensembles for Simulating the Corona Pandemic” is to analyse and combine the strengths of individual models into more superior ensembles of simulation models. In addition, we will study how the unique features of Agent-Based Social Simulation (ABSS) models can contribute to better understand the effects of different measures (interventions[…]

In the past weeks we have developed an agent based social simulation for the COVID crisis (ASSOCC). The results are continuously updated on the website of the project: https://simassocc.org/. At the moment we have quite a complex model that does a good job to simulate the epidemiological, economic and social effects of the crisis and their dependencies. The model now runs with 1000 agents.
The whole model is built in NetLogo and now reached its limits. In order to move on to scenarios with […]

We are looking for a new permanent team mate in trustworthy multi-agent systems.

A postdoctoral research associate is sought in the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) at the University of Michigan. The successful candidate will assist with 1) developing and implementing agent-based simulations of interactions between humans and wildlife; 2) analyzing and visualizing simulation outputs to share with decision makers; and 3) writing scientific, peer-reviewed publications.

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 […]

The Computational Epidemiology Laboratory seeks an exceptional postdoctoral researcher with interdisciplinary interests and a passion for using complex systems models (e.g., agent-based, microsimulation, system dynamics) to improve human health and well-being. The current focus of the group is on developing complex systems models in the following areas: 1. Food access, food insecurity and health 2. Pediatric asthma healthcare utilization 3. Predicting asthma attacks due to multipollutant […]

The IRIS Design Lab (macdlab.stanford.edu) is looking to hire an agent-based modeler, with experience using Repast or other agent-based programming preferred. The ideal candidate will also have familiarity with the subject area: modeling the design, distribution, and sales of solar photovoltaic panels and/or cost-of-energy estimation. This will be a two-year commitment as postdoctoral researcher with possible extension for a third year. If interested, please send CV, one pdf of a paper, […]

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, […]
