Dear all
We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral research assistant to join a
highly interdisciplinary team investigating the social, ecological, and
economic dynamics associated with marine harvesting. The aim is to build
simulations capable of informing policy, based on a deep understanding
of agents operating within this system, using Bayesian optimisation
procedures, and the development of state-of-the-art decision-simulation
approaches. Modelling work at Oxford will be combined with empirical
behavioural studies of decision-making agents, with the possibility of
brief data gathering missions in California and Indonesia.
The position requires competence in quantitative methods (ideally
including probabilistic machine learning), and some experience in
theoretical or empirical aspects of decision-making research. A
doctorate in a relevant subject with a significant quantitative
component is a requirement and we encourage applicants with a strong
desire to apply their skills to real-world problems, while seeking deep
understanding of the systems and agents studied.
This post is fixed-term for 2 years, with a possible extension to 4
years. The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 12
October 2015, and interviews will be taking place week commencing 19
October 2015. More details are available
