Jobs & Appointments

A leading computational research team seeks candidates—starting September/October 2025 and willing to relocate to Norway—who can work independently and collaboratively on simulation models and stakeholder-friendly interfaces. Senior Researchers will lead tasks and work packages, publish high-impact papers, and oversee project deliverables, while all team members are expected to produce high-quality research, author scientific articles, and present results internationally.

At Utrecht University, The Netherlands, we have TWO fully-funded PhD positions available on spatial agent-based modelling to analyze environmental exposure. Would you like to dive into this? Join us as a PhD candidate!

Aarhus University invite applications for a 28-month full time (37h/w) fixed-term postdoctoral position in Simulation and Modelling.
The position focuses on designing and implementing the agent-based modeling component of research projects in code, requiring proficiency in programming and simulation development.

The Department of Management at Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University, invites applications for a 3-year postdoc position in the Novo Nordisk Foundation-funded project “PlantTip” focusing on modelling food consumer behavior and policy responses.

The position comes with an earmarked travel and training budget, and will be part of a generally well-funded project with access to HPCs and local LLMs. The position is full-time research but teaching can be negotiated if candidates are interested.

UAB invites applications for a fellowship focused on the development and optimization of real ABMs applications and extending the synthetic agent-based models for performance evaluation.
At the application domain level, the potential of agent-based modelling (ABMs) for realistic simulation of social networks makes it important to define optimization policies that consider the specific characteristics of this type of application.

🚀 Exciting Leadership Opportunity at VMASC! 🚀

Old Dominion University’s Virginia Modeling, Analysis & Simulation Center (VMASC) is looking for a visionary Executive Director to lead our cutting-edge research initiatives in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) and data analytics. This is your chance to guide strategic planning, foster national and international partnerships, and drive innovation that solves real-world problems.

sistemaFutura seeks an experienced computational social scientist to collaborate on two ABMs we are building: on financial behaviors and on health behaviors. We currently have a 4 month opening, but that is likely to increase. We combine behavioral science insights and interventions in the field with our models, so BeSci experience is welcome, but not not required.

Agent-based modelling position to develop theories of transformative change in social-ecological systems, particularly in the context of natural resource management and food systems. The modeller will work in close cooperation with empirical researchers and philosophers to translate empirical and theoretical knowledge into ABMs and use the models to test and further develop hypotheses about transformative change. She/he/them will also work on developing methods for causal analysis of ABMs.

The aim of this project is to understand and quantify the roles of sociocultural and biophysical factors in the evolution of linguistic diversity using an agent-based modelling approach. The spatial agent-based model should simulate how and where languages (agents) change, merge, and split over time. You will use linguistics theory in combination with large datasets of environmental, demographic, sociocultural and linguistic variables to define the model rules.

The International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) is offering a position for an Agent Based Modeler to join their team. The role focuses on advancing the understanding and assessment of energy demand pathways in cities.
