Climate action demands drastic behavioural and social changes for a variety of actors. Success of technological interventions climate change mitigation and adaptation policies critically depends on our understanding of drivers of citizens’ behavior, including psychological biases, individual preferences, and social influence. We welcome an Assistant Professor with a passion to integrate and advance behavioural insights for effective climate policy design, communication and compliance concer[…]

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.

Are you interested in interdisciplinary research projects? Do you like to work in a team of researchers working on societal challenges? We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher is interested in interdisciplinary research in the impact of climate change adaptation on poverty traps, and who likes to bridge research insights developed in computational science, environmental science, and developmental economics with practice.

As researcher you will be part of the Accelerating Scientific Disco[…]

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-[…]
