Project Description: Economic and financial engineering studies economic and financial systems by means of a multidisciplinary approach involving competences arising from engineering, economics, computer science, mathematics and physics. In this context, the research activity will be focused on modelling and implementing an artificial financial economy based on heterogeneous interacting agents and on developing the software platforms for simulations that will provide a powerful and […]

The Chair of Human-Environment Relations at the Department of Geography, University of Munich, has an inter- and transdisciplinary orientation and studies the question of transition towards sustainability. Key issues thereby are the processes in Human-Environment Systems which are at the interface of individual decision-making, social structure, governance, and environment. Our research fields include sustainable resource management (e.g., energy, water, phosphorous); sustainable regional […]

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of Earth Science and Ecology for two years on a full-time basis. Within the co-operation project ‘Emerging patterns in coupled systems’ between the University of Amsterdam and the Free University of Amsterdam, the candidate will join and strengthen a multi-disciplinary group (5 PhD students, a Postdoc and several staff members) for developing agent-based models (ABMs) of human-environment systems to answer a variety of […]

We are seeking to appoint 2 Postdoctoral Researchers in the field of Socio-Ecological Systems Modelling for a period of 2 years. Based within the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh, you will join a team of researchers studying the effects of environmental change on land use, the impacts of climate change on rural and urban environments and how people will adapt to these changes. We explore these themes at multiple temporal and spatial scales using different methods such […]

RA needed briefly to help code and debug a simulation in Netlogo implementing an algorithm modeling firms’ innovations and the development of an industry in particular locations. I’ve already written pseudocode for the algorithm – just need some help translating it into real code that will actually compile. Must have experience with Netlogo and availability in June or July. Hours and location flexible. To apply, please email Russell Golman and describe your programming experience and your […]

As a part of EPSRC funded Horizon Hub, we have a 9 months fixed term position for a post-doctoral researcher in social network analysis and modelling. The position is based in the Centre for the mathematics of human behaviour (CMoHB, https://www.reading.ac.uk/cmohb/ ), Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Reading and will be focused on analysis and modelling of dynamics and mood on social networks, based on two small human studies and a large online social network […]
