Jobs & Appointments

The Network for Computational Modeling in the Social and Ecological Sciences (www.comses.net), part of the School of Complex Adaptive Systems, has an opening for a junior frontend software engineer to build software tools to support open, transparent, reusable, and interoperable scientific computation for the study of complex social and natural systems. This entry-level position will help the successful candidate grow in their ability to build functional, intuitive user interfaces.

TU Delft has an opening for a postdoctoral research fellow at the intersection of social simulation and high-performance algorithms. The goal of project is to develop methods to speed large-scale agent-based modelling (ABMs), for example by means of effective parallelization using High Performance Computing (HPC). The use of machine learning for efficient ABM simulations will enable uncertainty and global sensitivity analysis of large ensembles of ABM runs. The postdoc will use the HPC c[…]

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) is looking for qualified and motivated researchers to fill 3 positions in the field of Climate Change Adaptation Modelling. The candidates will join the team working in the area of “Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Areas” (ADAPT@VE), a research program aimed at understanding and interpreting the current societal changes in response to the challenges for adaptating to climate change. The goal is to develop answers to key questions concerning the multi-[…]

The Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Irvine invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar position beginning fall 2021 or January 2022.

We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral scholar interested in a new NSF Smart & Connected Communities research project that aims to dramatically improve how metropolitan areas plan for and thus leverage intelligent transportation technologies to solve pressing societal problems. The project team will accomplish this goal through targeted improve[…]

The Laboratory of Agent Based Social Simulation (LABSS) at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) is opening a post-doc position for investigating how social norms emerge and change in on-line communities and the extent to which they affect the debate in the online context, e.g., spreading of misinformation and “fake news”, hate speech, etc. This line of research will contribute to the research agenda of the EU-funded HUMANE-AI […]

College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences

Fixed term for 2 years

We have an opportunity for a Research Associate to contribute to the Unit’s research in complex systems simulation methods, and to the UKPRP-funded PHASE project (Population Health Agent-based Simulation Network). Within the research group, the postholder will contribute to research in complex systems methods as applied to population health, and will be a member of the Modelling Complex Systems workstream focu[…]

The Department of Geography at the University at Buffalo (UB) invites applicants for a postdoctoral researcher position with broad interests in urban analytics with a particular emphasis on modeling and simulation.

Research Associate at Centre for Sustainable Road Freight, Heriot-Watt University; responsible for leading the agent based modelling activity. The centre has focused on solutions that will deliver net zero carbon emissions and therefore reflect the emerging energy transitions.

Research Associate at Centre for Logistics & Sustainability, Heriot-Watt University; responsible for leading the agent based modelling activity. The Sustainable Cold-Chain project will bring together world leading interdisciplinary researchers to provide a whole systems approach overseeing technology, finances, food security and sociological aspects of how we can deliver demand and climate adaptation, resilience and decarbonisation of the cold-chain in the food industry simultaneously.

The USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Adaptive Cropping Systems Laboratory located in Beltsville, MD, is seeking a permanent full-time Research Agronomist/Soil Scientist/Agricultural Engineer to apply systems theory to the solution of complex, agricultural problems and to develop computer-aided farm decision support systems and assessment tools for environmental study and analysis.
