ANNOUNCEMENT: Agent-based modelling job vacancy at the Macaulay Institute,
Aberdeen, Scotland
(Apologies for cross-postings.)
A post-doctoral research assistant is required for a two and a half year
contract as part of a multidisciplinary research project aimed at understanding
the interactions of individual and collective interests in the context of the
EU Water Framework Directive, potentially providing guidance to policy makers
on possible implementation strategies. The postholder will take part in work
on extending the FEARLUS (Framework for Evaluation and Assessment of Regional
Land Use Scenarios) agent-based simulation modelling system, then take the lead
in using FEARLUS to explore the dynamics of common pool resource dilemmas among
agents with multi-dimensional and contextually variable utility functions.
The postholder should ideally have experience of agent-based simulation
modelling in the context of socio-economic or environmental management
research. They should have, or expect shortly to obtain, a PhD involving
research into agent-based computing, artificial life, or related areas.
Experience of programming in Java or of using the Swarm libraries would be
desirable. Potential candidates can get further information about FEARLUS at
http://www.macaulay.ac.uk/fearlus/, or from Nick Gotts (address@hidden) or Gary
Polhill (address@hidden).
