You will work on a new project, funded by the European Research Council, called Data Assimilation for Agent-Based Models: Applications to Civil Emergencies (DUST). The utilmate aim of the project[…]

Our research group is developing an agent-based simulation tool to understand how human and natural systems interact in response to agricultural best management practices (BMPs). This research will seek to identify and assess the factors influencing farmer’s responses to proposed BMPs, develop simulation tools to link agent-based models of farmer decision making to a hydrological model of nutrient loading, and model scenarios to explore the resilience of watershed systems to changes in […]

The Department of Medicine and the Chicago Center for HIV Elimination announces a post-doctoral position at the University of Chicago, focusing on quantitative data sciences and HIV/STI prevention research. The position is under the direct supervision of John Schneider MD, MPH, Aditya Khanna PhD, and in collaboration with other Center faculty (http://hivelimination.uchicago.edu/people/faculty) to support a skilled computational social/health scientist interested in developing a career in […]

The Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science in cooperation with the Datalab at George Mason University (GMU) and the Department of Computer Science at Tulane University have a total of three postdoctoral fellow positions available. These positions will be part of the “Urban Simulation” project team conducting research as part of the DARPA’s “Ground Truth” program, a network of DARPA-funded teams across the USA.

SMARTEES is a Horizon2020 project aimed at simulating a number of successful social innovations in the energy transition, and developing - together with people in the field - a “sandbox model” to experiment with strategies to stimulate societal change. A total of 11 European partners will work together in this exiting project that will run for 3 years. We hope SMARTEES will make a difference in policy making, addressing the social forces that often are critical in reaching a tipping point […]

Applicants should have significant practical experience for conducting cost-effectiveness, analyzing data and simulation results, and performing statistical inference. The successful candidate will have excellent English language communication skills (both written and verbal). Previous experience working in an interdisciplinary research environment, and writing scientific articles, would be an asset. The candidate will be responsible for summarising outcomes of the projects for […]

The National Laboratory of Public Policy (LNPP) is hiring two research assistants for its simulation unit (USim). The simulation unit is dedicated to the development and active use of simulation models for the analysis, evaluation and improvement of public policies. The goal is to develop models that are as close as possible to the context of the study and allow us to analyse effects of public policies ex-ante. The unit specialises in agent-based modelling but is open to other techniques […]
