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@macaulay.ac.uk) or Gary Polhill (g.polhill@macaulay.ac.uk).
