Summary: The role of Applied Scientist / Modelling & Simulation Engineer involves developing advanced simulations to assist partner organizations in making data-driven decisions within complex environments. The position requires end-to-end management of the model lifecycle, from research and prototyping to implementation and validation. Collaboration with engineers and data scientists is essential to ensure the models are high-performance and scalable. The role also includes presenting insights to stakeholders in an accessible manner.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and refine ABMs for urban planning, transport networks, and human behaviour simulations
• Work end-to-end in the entire model lifecycle. Research and prototyping to implementation and validation.
• Analyse third-party datasets, integrating them into simulation environments
• Collaborate closely with engineers and data scientists to ensure high-performance, scalable model
• Present insights and model outcomes to key stakeholders, adapting technical findings for different audiences.

Key Skills:

• Strong Python programming skills.
• Expertise in agent-based modelling, model validation, and calibration.
• Experience working on large-scale simulations, ideally related to urban infrastructure or human behaviour.
• Knowledge of geospatial data, transport modelling, or cloud-based simulation tools is advantageous.
• A degree in a STEM subject with a mathematical component; a PhD is a plus.
