CLIMATE CHANGE AND REGIME SHIFTS IN FLOOD-PRONE URBAN AREAS: AN AGENT-BASED APPROACH Background: Coupled socio-ecological systems (SES) are known to experience regime shifts. By this we mean fast and usually irreversible changes in systems, like the ones that we observe when ecosystems collapse due to overexploitation, or when economy cannot recover after natural disasters (floods, droughts, etc.), or when societies undergo dramatic changes as in resource-driven conflicts. The topic is of […]

We are seeking a Post Doctoral Researcher to join an international project on the development of methods for analysis and visualization of ‘big data’ from computational agent-based models (ABMs) of coupled human-natural systems. This vacancy is part of a multidisciplinary multinational MIRACLE project (MIning Relationships Among variables in large datasets from CompLEx systems). MIRACLE is a joint project between the Center for Social Dynamics & Complexity at the Arizona State University […]

Postdoc position in spatial structure (Req #140062) The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University invites applications for a post-doctoral position to work with Professors Corina Tarnita and Simon Levin on projects with special focus on spatial structure and its effects. The three main directions of research include but are not restricted to: (i) the effects of spatial patterning (e.g., as induced by self organization of social insect nests) on ecosystems and […]

The SMAC Team of the IRIT lab (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse) invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in the EmoTES project funded by the ANR. The aim of the EmoTES project is to study a specific class of emotions, so-called “strategic emotions”, namely those emotions such as guilt, remorse… which arise in the context of strategic interaction (that is, when an agent’s utility of a given choice also depends on other agents’ behaviors). The main goal […]

The Environmental Studies Program at Dartmouth College is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a two year position working on agent based modeling of consumer behavior. In particular, the project examines the aggregate impacts of bounded rationality and social norms on demand for consumer goods. The postdoc will be involved in every stage of the project from research design to programming to data analysis and production of publications. The successful applicant will have experience using […]
