The position is opened by the Complex Human Behaviour Lab (CHuB), an interdisciplinary research unit carrying out fundamental and applied research informed by the statistical analysis of large behavioural datasets and aimed at modelling individual behaviour and collective social phenomena using the methods of complexity science, computational social science, and network theory. The topics covered within the unit range from individual decisions, human mobility and transportation to online co[…]

A three years PhD Position on “Model-based exploration of leverage points
to foster sustainable nitrogen management in German agriculture” is
offered from May 1, 2022 on with a methodological focus on
social-ecological modelling and agent-based modelling.

The aim of the PhD project is to investigate the effects of policy
measures for sustainable nitrogen management of farmers in Germany. This
shall be achieved by developing an integrated model complex that makes
both the socio-economic and[…]

TU Delft has an opening for a postdoctoral research fellow at the intersection of social simulation and high-performance algorithms. The goal of project is to develop methods to speed large-scale agent-based modelling (ABMs), for example by means of effective parallelization using High Performance Computing (HPC). The use of machine learning for efficient ABM simulations will enable uncertainty and global sensitivity analysis of large ensembles of ABM runs. The postdoc will use the HPC c[…]

In the POLISES group at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research UFZ Leipzig, Germany, a three years PhD Position on “Modelling human-environment systems: How to effectively design climate risk instruments?” is offered from April 1, 2022 on with a methodological focus on agent-based modelling.

ABM Postdoc researcher at the University of Namur (Belgium)
MAPPY project funded by AXIS/JPI-Climate
Full time position - 10 months

Two fully-funded PhD scholarships are available in agent-based modelling to explore interventions to increase cycling as an active, safe, and sustainable mode of transport. The PhD programs will be hosted by the Sustainable Mobility and Safety Research Group in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University.

The central goal of these PhD programs is to advance the understanding of how interventions (e.g. infrastructure, behaviour change campaigns, equipment, finan[…]
