We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the ASU Center for Behavior, Institutions and the Environment (CBIE) at Arizona State University. CBIE is a center within the School of Complex Adaptive Systems in the College of Global Futures. Research within CBIE aims to improve our understanding of the interactions of human behavior, institutional arrangements and the biophysical environment. This better understanding is used to inform effective governance of social-ecologica[…]

The research project “A network science approach to social cohesion in European societies” (PATCHWORK), funded by the European Research Council (ERC Advanced Grant awarded to Dr. Miranda Lubbers), is hiring a post-doctoral researcher for a period of four years at the newly founded Laboratory for Computational Analysis of Egonetworks, Social Cohesion and Exclusion (COALESCE Lab) at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology of the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

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[…]
