The CMCC Foundation is a scientific research center on climate change and its interactions with the environment, society, the world of business, and policymakers.
Our work aims to stimulate sustainable growth, protect the environment, and develop strategies for the adaptation and mitigation of climate change.
For this position of “Agent-based modelling”, our Division of Sustainable Earth Modelling Economics (SEME) is encouraging applications by economists and computer scientists interested in agent-based modelling for climate change.
The successful applicant will work on a project investigating climate change solutions and improving the representation of finance and climate change impacts in our agent-based model (ABM).
Specific tasks include but are not limited to:
- Contribution to the development of macro-economic ABMs with a focus on climate, energy, and finance, for instance the DSK model.
Development of ABMs for modelling heterogeneity of climate impacts and policies - Linking ABMs to climate-economy-energy models
- Write and contribute to scientific articles and science-policy reports derived from the above work, and present those at scientific workshops and conferences.
