Subject: postdoc in simulation and modelling (Aarhus)
The Computational Culture and Complexity Research collective (CORE) and
its Social Resilience Lab invite applications for a 28-month full time
(37h/w) fixed-term postdoctoral position in Simulation and Modelling.
Deadline 25 April.

position-in-social-systems-modelling-at-the-social-resilience-lab-as-part-of-
the-computational-culture-and-complexity-research-collective-core-department-of-
culture-cognition-and-computation-school-of-culture-and-society-aarhus-universi
The position focuses on designing and implementing the agent-based
modeling component of research projects in code, requiring proficiency
in programming and simulation development. It is associated with two
projects, EC2 and MELICA, but it will also involve working on other
projects with a computational modelling component. The MELICA project
studies the local implementation of Cold War civil defense through
spatial analysis of different types of shelters in Aarhus, investigating
how the shelters shaped urban space as well as testing the shelter
system in a simulated emergency situation. EU Horizon project “European
City: Computational Social Science Simulation For Democracy” (EC2) aims
to develop robust governance frameworks for participatory democracy
through computational social science methods such as simulation.
This position will be based in the Social Resilience Lab, a part of the
Computational Culture and Complexity Research Collective (CORE) - a
dynamic interdisciplinary research group whose aim is to leverage
computational methods to study social and cultural phenomena across a
wide range of contexts from ancient societies, historical and literary
case studies to modern societies. The team comes from disciplines as
diverse as archaeology, language and literature, computer science,
musicology and physics making it a highly stimulating radically
interdisciplinary research environment.
Our members are encouraged to question, innovate and playfully explore
and the center provides a strong peer-based and mentor-based support
framework to encourage the scholarly evolution and career progression of
all of our members.
CORE values a healthy work-life-balance and offers work conditions
where flexible hours and some amount of remote work is possible. We
value the effect of meeting up in the hallways or at the coffee machine
and having serendipitous conversations with colleagues. As a mixed group
of nationalities, we predominantly speak English in the office and at
meetings to be inclusive of our international colleagues. We have a
center meeting every other Thursday and meet up every other Friday for
our social activity “Friday Tea & Beer” – even though we also drink coffee.
Core consists of the following five centres:
Centre for Humanities Computing https://chc.au.dk/
Social Resilience Lab https://srl.au.dk/
Centre for Digital Textual Heritage https://cas.au.dk/en/cdh
Centre for Grundtvigforskning https://grundtvigcenteret.au.dk/
TEXT DNRF Centre of Excellence https://arts.au.dk/en/text
Interested applicants are welcome to contact Iza Romanowska
iromanowska@cas.au.dk or Tom Brughmans t.b@cas.au.dk . The application
deadline is 25 April. Please visit the job posting for more information:
