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 […]

A Post-Doctoral fellowship position is available at the Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA) in Brazil. The researcher will be involved in the project “Employing computational intelligence techniques and big data analytics in a multi-agent system experiment of finance”, a collaboration between ITA and the University of Essex, UK. This project and the PD fellowship are funded by FAPESP (São Paulo Research Foundation, fapesp.br/en/postdoc). This research intends to employ different […]

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 […]

The Imperial Centre for Energy Policy and Technology (ICEPT) and the Centre for Process Systems Engineering (CPSE) at Imperial College London are looking for candidates for the position of Research Associate to join us in a project on the implementation of an agent-based model of bioenergy stakeholders (e.g. farmers, biorefinery operators, service providers) which will be used to study policies that can stimulate the development of a bioenergy value chain in the UK. Details of the job, […]

The Department of Environment and Society at Utah State University is seeking a highly qualified candidate who is committed to pursuing a MS focused on understanding how the spatial and temporal availability of freshwater resources affect where, when and how individuals choose to participate in outdoor recreation or nature-based tourism. Depending upon the student’s background, interests and future career goals, he/she will have the opportunity to pursue a MS degree in Environment and […]

1. Uses a high degree of concentration to plan, develop, build, test, validate and operate multiscale agent-based simulation models for a variety of nonlinear, time-based problems within ALSAC, drawing on a current inventory of predictive models as well as exploratory work. Multiscale agent-based simulation models for strategic and/or tactical applications in Java or C++ produce system-level financial and other outputs (metrics, forecasts) based on (a) consumer econometrics, algorithms, […]

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) for a new interdisciplinary project to build an agent-based model (ABM) to represent the extraction of fish by fishing vessels in open ocean fisheries and the associated effects on ocean ecological systems. The goal of this effort will be to identify pragmatic fisheries management strategies tailored both to the complexity of the ocean ecosystem, and the limitations of the relevant social, economic and regulatory systems. The PDRA […]
