The SMAC Team of the IRIT lab (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse) invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in the EmoTES project funded by the ANR. The aim of the EmoTES project is to study a specific class of emotions, so-called “strategic emotions”, namely those emotions such as guilt, remorse… which arise in the context of strategic interaction (that is, when an agent’s utility of a given choice also depends on other agents’ behaviors). The main goal […]

The Environmental Studies Program at Dartmouth College is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a two year position working on agent based modeling of consumer behavior. In particular, the project examines the aggregate impacts of bounded rationality and social norms on demand for consumer goods. The postdoc will be involved in every stage of the project from research design to programming to data analysis and production of publications. The successful applicant will have experience using […]
