2015_10: Postdoc in Oxford: Bayesian optimisation for sustainable fisheries
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.
