>The Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology,
>8600 Düben-dorf, Switzerland (http://www.eawag.ch) is a federal
>institute for water research and pro-tection with close ties to the
>Swiss Federal Institute of Techno-lo-gy (ETH; http://www.ethz.ch). The
>Department of Systems Analysis, Integrated Assess-ment and Modelling
>(SIAM; http://www.eawag.ch/research_e/siam) is concerned with modelling
>aquatic environmental systems and integrated modelling of environmental,
>
>technical and socioeconomic systems.
>
>The candidate should build up a research group that develops simulation
>
>models for socio-technic-economic systems and applies them to actors and
>
>institutions involved in environmental decision making and material flux
>
>management. Of special interest to our department is the development of
>
>innovative models, such as agent-based social simulation models, that go
>
>beyond standard modeling practice in this field. The activity of the new
>
>group should strengthen the ongoing research in our department on
>integrated modelling for improving understanding and support of
>environmental decision making. It should complement the natural science
>
>and environmental engineering experience in our department and at EAWAG
>
>by knowledge of social systems. In addition to conceptural and
>theoretical work, the new group should be engaged in applications of
>the models to decision makers involved in water use (such as farmers and
>
>consumers) and together with decision makers relevant for water
>ressources management (such as governmental authorities). This is
>intended to be done in collaborations with other departments of EAWAG
>e.g. in the fields of the development and dissemination of sustainable
>urban drainage techniques (Departments of Environmental Engineering and
>
>Urban Water Management), of management of rivers and reservoirs
>(Department of Applied Aquatic Ecology) and in projects in the planned
>new Depart-ment of Socio-Economics of Water.
>
>Requirements for the position are
>· a PhD degree in Decision Sciences, Environmental Engineering,
> Economics, Computer Science, or En-viron-mental Sciences,
>· research experience in the development and application of novel
> socio-economic models such as agent-based models,
>· a profound knowledge of statistics and experience in data analysis,
>· a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration.
>
>Please send your CV and an outline of research interests to Ms. Karin
>Ghilardi, EAWAG, POB 611, 8600 Düben-dorf, Switzerland. Further
>information is available from PD Dr. Peter Reichert, reichert@eawag.ch.
