Subject: OB VACANCY: Agent-based modelling at the Macaulay Institute

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
(n.gotts at macaulay.ac.uk) or Gary Polhill (g.polhill at macaulay.ac.uk).
