🚀 Exciting Leadership Opportunity at VMASC! 🚀

Old Dominion University’s Virginia Modeling, Analysis & Simulation Center (VMASC) is looking for a visionary Executive Director to lead our cutting-edge research initiatives in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) and data analytics. This is your chance to guide strategic planning, foster national and international partnerships, and drive innovation that solves real-world problems.

sistemaFutura seeks an experienced computational social scientist to collaborate on two ABMs we are building: on financial behaviors and on health behaviors. We currently have a 4 month opening, but that is likely to increase. We combine behavioral science insights and interventions in the field with our models, so BeSci experience is welcome, but not not required.

Agent-based modelling position to develop theories of transformative change in social-ecological systems, particularly in the context of natural resource management and food systems. The modeller will work in close cooperation with empirical researchers and philosophers to translate empirical and theoretical knowledge into ABMs and use the models to test and further develop hypotheses about transformative change. She/he/them will also work on developing methods for causal analysis of ABMs.

The aim of this project is to understand and quantify the roles of sociocultural and biophysical factors in the evolution of linguistic diversity using an agent-based modelling approach. The spatial agent-based model should simulate how and where languages (agents) change, merge, and split over time. You will use linguistics theory in combination with large datasets of environmental, demographic, sociocultural and linguistic variables to define the model rules.

The ERC project ARISER (Access to crop diversity and small farms’ resilience to climate variability in African drylands: The role of seed and information networks, https://www.ariser.org/en) is seeking for a postdoctoral research fellow experienced in the modelling of social-ecological systems

The Center for Connected Learning & Computer-Based Modeling (CCL) at Northwestern University is looking for a
full-time Software Developer to work on NetLogo. If you are a system builder and can design and implement a whole
application independently, this position is ideal for you! Start date as soon as possible. Please apply via [email protected], which is faster than applying via the web site. See detailed description.

An exciting opportunity to improve systems simulation modelling in tackling the complex challenges in health and social care. The project focus is on understanding how personalised, technology-facilitated home care can efficiently meet current and future demands of health and social care for older adults. Systems simulation modelling (ABM, SD, DES, and hybrid models) has lacked a coherent theory for incorporating health-related behaviour—crucial to addressing this topic.

The Department of Management Science at the University of Strathclyde is hiring for a lecturer position (Assistant professor).

The lecturer search is across all the Department’s research themes, with one of the five main areas of interest being complex systems simulation.

The Department conducts research on improving simulation methods rigour, including agent-based modelling, system dynamics, discrete-event simulation, and hybrid models. It also teaches the three simulation methods.

Postdoc fellowship to develop an agent-based model of conspiracy beliefs and health outcomes by calibrating model parameters with empirical network data (egocentric & sociocentric)

The Research Centre CETINIA (https://en.cetinia.es/) at the University Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, Spain. This role is within the Research Project “AGROBOTS”
