A Land Use Change Modeller is required for an interdisciplinary team working in a new EU Framework 7 project (www.redd-alert.eu) aimed at evaluating bottom-up approaches to reduce net global greenhouse gas emissions through avoided deforestation in the tropics. The post will focus on evaluating mechanisms for ensuring national-level benefits are distributed equitably, effectively and sustainably to stakeholders at a range of levels. You will possess a PhD in a relevant subject, together […]

As a Research Associate in the Centre for the study of Environmental Change and Sustainability (CECS) you will plan and undertake research on the development of Agent-Based models (ABM) of land use change in urban and rural environments. You will contribute to the conceptual design and implementation of new models that seek to integrate biophysical and human processes of environmental change. The research will contribute to a number of different European Commission funded projects within a […]

http://www.univ-rouen.fr/MTG/index.htm Job description: Modelling and simulation of complex geographical systems open new perspectives both in fundamental research and in public or private land use planning. The use of computer science methods linked to complex system study such as cellular automata and multiagent systems, requires high computing skills, which slows down their diffusion among the geography community and therefore among land use planners. Simulation platform MAGeo aims at […]

The post-doctoral project is part of the European integrated project SPICOSA (Science and Policy Integration for COastal Assessment System- http://www.spicosa.eu/ ) applying a system approach framework in order to carry out assessment methodologies through system dynamics modelling, regarding a set of coastal zone issues towards their integrated management. One of the challenges for a system approach applied to coastal zone is to combine and integrate processes and components with […]

The Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) in Bremen has been recently elected member of the prestigious Leibniz Association, which is supported by the German Federal and State Governments. Through its research, ZMT contributes to developing science-based strategies for sustainable use of tropical coastal systems. To strengthen its research on the analysis of coastal tropical environments the ZMT is seeking a PhDStudent in ecological modelling. Focus will be on the spatial representation […]

The Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE, www.isoe.de) in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, offers a three year post for a senior scientist in the area of modelling social-ecological systems. The successful candidate is expected to have strong expertise in recent modelling techniques (e.g. agent-based modelling, fuzzy logic) and should be familiar with complexity theory and theories of self-organisation. The thematic focus of the post is water research. As ISOE’s working language is […]
