The successful candidate will develop a novel Agent-Based Model (ABM) coded in Python to simulate how uncertainties from climate-related shocks cascade through the global financial system. You will explore the potential benefits of ABM beyond existing optimization paradigms in terms of incorporating uncertainty in cascading climate shocks. Your research will move beyond mapping cascades emerging from climate shocks and quantify the uncertainty they generate.

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.

Software Heritage is looking for a Partnerships & Open Science Specialist to expand Software Heritage’s integration in the research community. Your focus will be on managing partner onboarding, promoting software citation best practices (SWHIDs, BibLaTeX), and representing Software Heritage in key Open Science initiatives (EOSC, SciCodes).

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!

IQS School of Engineering at Ramon Llull University (URL) in Barcelona, Spain, is seeking an Associate Professor (permanent position) with a strong background in mathematical modeling and data analysis. While the position is very open, we are particularly interested in candidates with experience in agent-based modeling (ABM). Join our dynamic team and contribute to innovative teaching and research.

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.

You will play a key role in promoting excellence within your faculty and enhancing your expertise’s visibility through teaching and research. Responsibilities include developing a cutting-edge research program in remote sensing of the environment, focusing on areas like image analysis, geospatial data, and AI for sustainable cities. If aligned with IVADO’s objectives on environmental big data, your research may qualify for an IVADO professorship with enhanced starting conditions.

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.
