2 x Postdoc Positions in Agent-based Modelling

Dept of Computer Science, University of Oxford

https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/news/2191-full.html

Deadline for applications:** 12 noon on Tuesday 31 October 2023.**

The Department of Computer Science seeks to employ two postdoctoral
researchers to work on a project in the area of agent-based
modelling/multi-agent systems, under the direction of PI Professor
Michael Wooldridge. The posts are full-time, fixed term positions,
tenable immediately, and will be available until the end of September
2026 subject to satisfactory review. The positions will be based
within the Department’s offices in central Oxford.

The successful candidates will work with Professor Wooldridge and
Professors Ani Calinescu and Doyne Farmer on one or more of the
following four areas: modelling languages for agent-based models (with
particular interest in probabilistic programming); populating
agent-based models with realistic agent behaviours (e.g., using
machine learning techniques); calibrating large-scale agent-based
models; and the validation and verification of agent-based models
(e.g., using techniques from game theoretic model
checking/synthesis). Candidates will be expected to have a PhD (or be
close to completion) in a related area and should indicate their
special area(s) of interest from the four topics above in a cover
letter. The primary selection criteria will be relevant research
experience and publication track record. Both posts are offered at
Grade 7; we would be willing to consider a Grade 6 appointment for
less experienced candidates for up to one post – this would be
discussed with applicants at interview/appointment where appropriate.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Tuesday 31 October 2023.

Interviews are expected to be held in November.
