The Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam is looking for an internationally visible and recognized researcher in Complex Adaptive Systems. The emphasis should be on novel computational methods to study the spatio-temporal evolution of emergent properties in a variety of interdisciplinary application domains.

The research will be driven by deep insights in (the theory of) Complex Adaptive Systems and novel computational methods to simulate the dynamics and emergent properties of such complex systems. Research that addresses computational challenges may include methods for simulating, calibrating, and validating large scale models of complex systems. The research will have a strong application pull, for instance in the realms of socio-economic systems or health and health care. Candidates that address interdisciplinary application domains and whose research contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, will be preferred.

The informatics institute pursues research in five main themes: (1) Artificial Intelligence, (2) Computational Science, (3) Data Science, (4) People, Society, Technology, and (5) Systems and Security, embedded in 15 research groups. The professor will be positioned within the Computational Science Lab of the Institute for Informatics. The Computational Science Lab currently has two other full professors, one professor by special appointment, two associate professors, seven assistant professors, and one lecturer. It is expected that the candidate will proactively collaborate with colleagues in the lab and play a central role in mentoring junior staff, PhD candidates and postdocs.
