Jobs & Appointments

The PhD position is part of the project “Energieeffiziente Stadt Delitzsch” (http://uni-leipzig.de/~effstadt/cms/) and located at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ in Leipzig, Germany. The PhD candidate is expected to acquire and analyse data of spatial patterns of population dynamics and urban form in different European cities and develop conceptual agent-based models on residential mobility. These models help to explain observed patterns in different types of cities […]

Profile The chair of Human-Environment Relations at the Department of Geography, University of Munich, has an inter- and transdisciplinary orientation and studies the question of transition towards sustainability. Key issues thereby are the processes in Human-Environment Systems which are at the interface of individual decision-making, social structure, governance, and environment. The research fields tackled include sustainable resource management (e.g., energy, water, phosphorous); […]

The Intelligent Modelling and Analysis Research Group in the School of Computer Science at Nottingham University invites applications for a PhD studentship in the wider area of “Strategic Modelling and Simulation of Human-Centred Complex Systems”. In our research we develop novel tools for decision makers (e.g. managers, policy makers) to help those making better informed decisions. The research is highly interdisciplinary, utilising methods and knowledge from fields like Computer Science, […]

The Department of Sociology at the University of Surrey, UK, invites applications for three PhD studentships associated with the interdisciplinary research project ERIE (Evolution and Resilience of Industrial Ecosystems), a joint venture with the Departments of Mathematics and Computing and the Centre for Environmental Strategy . The doctoral students will be part of the ERIE team that is using two case studies to explore a crucial aspect of the UK economy: the […]

The PhD Studentship is fully funded for UK/EU applicants, and is offered by the Systems Centre, University of Bristol. The project will address the need for systematic research in the area of complex systems models design, with a specific aim to improve the accuracy of disease-spreading models, by incorporating recently discovered real-world human mobility patterns. State of the art disease-spreading models rest on the assumptions that populations are well mixed and homogeneous. However, […]

The projects will be conducted in the Centre for Spatial Analysis and Policy (CSAP) which is a leading research cluster for spatial analysis and agent-based modelling. The research council deadline for applications is in early February, so if you are interested please get in contact soon so that we have time to help with the application. For more information, please contact myself ([email protected]), Andrew Evans ([email protected]) or Alison Heppenstall […]
