We are seeking a research assistant for a 6-month contract starting in August 2020.

A goal of the project “Towards More Reliable Predictions: Multi-model Ensembles for Simulating the Corona Pandemic” is to analyse and combine the strengths of individual models into more superior ensembles of simulation models. In addition, we will study how the unique features of Agent-Based Social Simulation (ABSS) models can contribute to better understand the effects of different measures (interventions[…]

The PhD project will focus on modeling fish migration along rivers. The main objectives are to determine the effects of artificial light at night on fish migration, and to identify criteria for artificial sustainable light management. The ideal candidate has a solid understanding of ecological concepts, combining experience in spatial explicit approaches in environmental modelling (e.g. agent-based models) with an interest in confronting ecological theory and models with experimental data.

We are looking for a PhD candidate to conduct a project on the interface of sociology / computational modelling and philosophy. The project is titled “Reconciling epistemic and demographic divers[…]

University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam has a 2-year position to offer in a new research project related to participatory modelling of future urban mobility systems in Potsdam/near Berlin, Germ[…]

The aim is to develop new indicators of the vitality of honeybee colonies which inform about how much they are affected by stressors. The project will use data from a new electronic counter of the flight activity of a colony with data from drone-based surveys of flowering plants in the surrounding landscape to inform the agent-based honeybee model BEEHAVE (http://beehave-model.net/). BEEHAVE will then be used to develop stress tests for identifying new indicators.
