Jobs & Appointments

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.

Arizona State University’s School of Complex Adaptive Systems has an opening for a social or ecological scientist, with expertise in scientific modeling, to work with an interdisciplinary team to design, develop, refine, and apply cyberinfrastructure that supports computational models of the complex interactions and dynamics in social-ecological systems.

PhD assistantship in agent-based modeling for food-energy-water systems in the Deep South.

We are looking for a qualified person to coordinate and lead the development of data-driven analytical approaches to assess agricultural risk and risk-reduction interventions. The position will also provide thought leadership on new directions for CIAT’s data science research on agricultural risk management, financial services for agriculture (e.g. credit and insurance), and climate finance. The position will be full-time and based in Nairobi, Kenya, but will have a global mandate.

The Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture’s Modelling Systems Team is searching for a PhD student starting in 2020 to work on spatial analysis of agricultural land intensification. This project expands multi-disciplinary knowledge of the trade-offs between the biophysical, social, and economic components of agricultural spatial analysis by exploring the context in which cropping intensity can be a solution for sustainable agriculture.

I am seeking one to two Ph.D. students interested in modeling socioecological systems to take part in an NSF-funded interdisciplinary project on participatory-ensemble modeling to study the multiscale social and behavioral dynamics of food security. The project summary can be found here: http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1416730. The Ph.D. students will be responsible for the development of agent-based models to simulate the spatial and temporal variability of food access in […]

The successful candidate will work in one or more of the following areas: text analysis and text mining, social data collection, social and spatial analysis, and/or the development of social-ecological models. The successful candidate will work as a member of a team of interdisciplinary scientists in support of a collaborative NSF-funded study involving researchers at University of Idaho, University of Chicago, University College London, and University of New Hampshire. The study attempts […]
