The University of Michigan announces a post-doctoral research
opportunity, beginning as early as January 2002, focusing on developing,
studying, and applying agent-based models of land use and land cover
dynamics at the urban fringe.  The position is part of a multi-year
project funded by the National Science Foundation's Biocomplexity and
the Environment program to develop agent-based models of land use
change, compare them with empirical observations from both survey
research and historical landscape data (including plat maps, aerial
photographs, and satellite images), and generate and test policy
scenarios. The successful candidate for this position will have
expertise and interests in agent-based modeling and geographic
information science. Additional areas of expertise could include a
social science, ecology of human-dominated systems, remote sensing, or
survey research.  The person in this position will be expected to
collaborate with project investigators and other researchers and play a
coordinating role for the project.  A PhD is required by Sept 2002.  The
University of Michigan, a leader in undergraduate and graduate education
and one of the world's premiere research universities, offers rigorous
academic programs, outstanding faculty, and diverse cultural and social
opportunities in a stimulating intellectual environment.  Applicants
should submit a statement of research interests, a resume, a
representative example of their scholarly work, and the names, addresses
(including e-mail), and telephone numbers of three references to:
