Project Description: Economic and financial engineering studies economic and financial systems by means of a multidisciplinary approach involving competences arising from engineering, economics, computer science, mathematics and physics. In this context, the research activity will be focused on modelling and implementing an artificial financial economy based on heterogeneous interacting agents and on developing the software platforms for simulations that will provide a powerful and […]

The Chair of Human-Environment Relations at the Department of Geography, University of Munich, has an inter- and transdisciplinary orientation and studies the question of transition towards sustainability. Key issues thereby are the processes in Human-Environment Systems which are at the interface of individual decision-making, social structure, governance, and environment. Our research fields include sustainable resource management (e.g., energy, water, phosphorous); sustainable regional […]

We are seeking to appoint 2 Postdoctoral Researchers in the field of Socio-Ecological Systems Modelling for a period of 2 years. Based within the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh, you will join a team of researchers studying the effects of environmental change on land use, the impacts of climate change on rural and urban environments and how people will adapt to these changes. We explore these themes at multiple temporal and spatial scales using different methods such […]

RA needed briefly to help code and debug a simulation in Netlogo implementing an algorithm modeling firms’ innovations and the development of an industry in particular locations. I’ve already written pseudocode for the algorithm – just need some help translating it into real code that will actually compile. Must have experience with Netlogo and availability in June or July. Hours and location flexible. To apply, please email Russell Golman and describe your programming experience and your […]

Funding is available for one post-doctoral fellowship with the Canadian Network for Aquatic Ecosystem Services (CNAES). The fellowship is based out of Western University in London, Ontario in collaboration with Alberta Innovates in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The project will involve scenario analysis to develop alternative futures of forest aquatic ecosystem services and assess the economic and ecological risks of policy options under alternative futures. The successful candidate will be […]
