The Human-Environment Systems group at Boise State University is looking for a programmer to assist with optimizing code for an agent-based model of endangered species. The model is described in Carter, N., Levin, S., Barlow, A. and Grimm, V., 2015. Modeling tiger population and territory dynamics using an agent-based approach. Ecological Modelling, 312, pp.347-362. Primary tasks that the programmer would assist with include efforts to: • Develop algorithms to effectively upscale the model […]

Two postdoctoral positions are available at IFISC in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Candidates are expected to work within the framework of the project Emergent Social, Technical and Ecological Complex Systems, ESoTECoS, https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/research/projects/esotecos/, which addresses the following topics: 1. Social changes and innovation processes with social interaction at multiple levels: a) Competition between globalization and social polarization, in particular language […]

Center for Mind and Culture, Boston The Center for Mind and Culture (CMAC) is a non-profit think tank conducting non-partisan research into aspects of the mind-culture nexus (see www.mindandculture.org). CMAC is seeking a post-doctoral research fellow expert in modeling and simulation and interested in applying those techniques to religious cognition and behavior, immigration and integration, and related areas. Java and NetLogo are the principle coding languages in use on this project. […]

Dear, Please see attached the official ad for postdoctoral positions in the NIH-funded Center for Modeling Complex Interactions (CMCI) at the University of Idaho. CMCI plans to hire two postdoctoral fellows interested in applying agent-based modeling in biomedical research. The specialty is open, but we are particularly interested in systems biology, statistical, and agent-based modeling. Expertise in more than one modeling approach and more than one programming language is […]

two 2- year postdoc or researcher positions are available at the Stockholm Resilience Centre for modeling poverty traps and cross-scale interactions in social-ecological systems. We are seeking candidates with backgrounds in dynamical systems theory, complexity theory or related fields and interest in the dynamics of social-ecological systems, particularly in the context of natural resource management in fisheries and agriculture. For details, please see […]

Post-doc for a three-year interdisciplinary research project called “Computational Tools for Modeling Religious and Social Conflict” at University of Agder, Norway. This is a pre-release of the announcement coming out in 2-3 weeks.

Empirical PhD The empirical PhD candidate will focus on the use of the RoboFalcons for understanding predator-flock interactions. The RoboFalcons provide a unique opportunity to study predator-prey interactions in real time through a camera on the back of a RoboFalcon that films the prey. While investigating RoboFalcons during attack of bird flocks at airbases, the empirical- PhD candidate will: - analyze empirical data of collective escapes related to attacks by RoboFalcons on flocks at […]

The Center for Resilient Communities at the University of Idaho (Moscow, ID) invites applications for a post-doctoral scientist for interdisciplinary research related to social-ecological systems modeling and agent-based modeling of food-energy-water systems. The successful candidate will work as part of an interdisciplinary team of social and environmental scientists, engineers, and stakeholders to develop innovative solutions to integrated food, energy, and water systems interactions. […]

Summary: The Carter Lab in the Human-Environment Systems Center at Boise State University invites applications for the position of Postdoctoral Research Assistant. The postdoc will synthesize human behaviors and land use, animal behaviors and ecology, and policy scenarios in the design and application of an agent-based model. The focus will be on the conceptual and methodological aspects of the model design and the application to the conservation of the globally-endangered tiger (Panthera […]
