[agents] Postdoc position/agent based modelling/Oxford University

[Michael Wooldridge]

Research Associate in Agent-Based Modelling - Oxford University

https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/news/2297-full.html

Status: Full time, fixed-term, to start ASAP until 30 September 2026

Grade 8: £45,585 - £54,395 p.a. with the potential to under-fill at Grade 7
with salaries in the range of £36,024 - £44,263 p.a.

Deadline: 12 noon on Monday, 8th April 2024.

The Department of Computer Science seeks to employ a senior researcher
to work on a project in the area of agent-based modelling/multi-agent
systems, under the direction of PI Professor Michael Wooldridge. The
post is full-time, fixed term position, tenable immediately, and will
be available until the end of September 2026, subject to satisfactory
review. The position 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 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. The successful
candidate should possess sufficient specialist knowledge in the
discipline to develop research projects and methodologies. Ability to
work as part of a team but to independently plan and manage a research
project, including a research budget, is a must.

All applicants must complete an application form and submit a CV and
supporting statement.

The closing date for applications is

            ** 12 noon on Monday, 8th April 2024**.

Interviews are expected to be held in April 2024.
