MULTI-AGENT MODELLING OF RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The Stockholm Environment Institute's Oxford Office seeks to recruit a skilled modeller to develop multi-agent simulations. We have several projects in the arena of water management, agriculture and ecosystems, involving understanding responses to climate outlooks at a variety of time scales.
The ideal applicant will have some experience of multi-agent simulation of social systems. The minimum qualification is a high level of skill in programming (Java is likely to be our preferred environment) and acquaintance with existing multi-agent platforms (Swarm, RePast or others). Please do not apply if you do not have these minimum requirements.
Additional expertise is desirable:
. Familiarity with social simulation, including cognition, decision making and social networks.
. Understanding of climate change, climatic hazards and risk management.
. Background in resource management-water, agriculture and ecosystems
The position is to support three existing projects and develop new proposals and projects. The position is available immediately, initially for a one-year appointment. The SEI Oxford Office is just getting established-we are confident that the right person will thrive with us and we will be able to extend the contract substantially. The salary scale is likely to be equivalent to a post-doctoral university appointment.
More information on the SEI can be found at www.sei.se/oxford.
Please apply by sending a cover note of your career goals, current salary and short CV (two pages maximum). The SEI Oxford Office will request further information if necessary; we regret that we cannot acknowledge receipt of applications or return any material sent.
Feel free to send your application by email to:
Tom.downing@sei.se
