The University of Idaho CRC invites applications for a Post Doctoral Scientist for interdisciplinary research related to human adaptation to, and perceptions of, climate change. The successful candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary team of social, environmental, and computational scientists, and stakeholders, on a NSF funded 4-year project focused on Local and Place Based Adaptation to Climate Change in Underserved Rural Communities.
MS/PhD position at the Auburn University College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment. Collaborative research focusing on the use of a published agent-based modeling framework, OvCWD, to inform Chronic wasting disease surveillance and management strategies.
Arizona State University’s School of Complex Adaptive Systems has an opening for a social or ecological scientist, with expertise in scientific modeling, to work with an interdisciplinary team to design, develop, refine, and apply cyberinfrastructure that supports computational models of the complex interactions and dynamics in social-ecological systems.
This person will help design, develop, communicate and apply bird sub-models of an Agent Based Model to simulate effects of interacting stressors on least bells vireos (an endangered bird species found in southern California). This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0DQPcSk-Qg) provides a 1/2 hour project summary. Ideal candidates will be familiar with ABM and have strong scientific writing skills. Questions can be directed to Dr. Pat Zollner.
Disruptions, events, incidents, and closures are daily characteristics of urban transport systems. Yet, our understanding of how people change their travel behaviours in each situation is limited. Improving our understanding of behaviour under different scenarios, and development of a robust model of behaviour, would be beneficial to transport authorities seeking to promote behaviour change to improve services.
This project will undertake analyses of changes in travel behaviour following […]
The TerraNeon project (PI : Jean-Daniel Kant) proposes to build an innovative decision-making tool aimed at reducing the impact of human activities on climate and biodiversity by adopting a highly systemic and multi-agent approach. TerraNeon is supported by CNRS Innovation, and Sorbonne University.
TerraNeon includes TerraSim, an agent-based simulator (composed of interacting software agents) to model and simulate: human activities (individual and social), economic activities (i[…]
The Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS) is the joint Data Science Academy of Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. JADS is seeking an enthusiastic colleague for the position of PhD researcher in Social support for the real-world introduction of AI in critical infrastructure, as part of the ILUSTRE project that focusses on use-cases in the Caribbean region.
This postdoc will work with all collaborators under the direction of Dr. Pat Zollner to develop an Agent Based Model of the behaviors of cage free chickens. This work will be informed by extensive empirical work and will use ODD & TRACE for documentation to compare alternative cage free housing systems based on chicken welfare and laying of eggs outside nest boxes. Work will incorporate perspectives from industry as well as interested non-governmental organizations.
Objective: to understand, from models confronted with empirical data, how individuals’ opinions and preferences interact with the structuring of social networks and groups to generate collective behaviors and social dynamics.
Keywords: computational social science, opinion dynamics, complex systems modeling, web-mining & deep learning, cognitive science.
Abstract: The formal modeling of social phenomena has known several interdisciplinary contributions since the founding work of John Nash[…]
