The aim of the project is to apply algorithmic and computational
complexity tools to game theoretic problems motivated by concrete
applications in electronic commerce and networks.

In particular approximation algorithms techniques will be used. The
project may involve collaboration with other staff members in the
Department of Computer Science at the University of Liverpool.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in the area of Algorithms
and Complexity Theory. Knowledge and/or a PhD in the area of
Algorithmic Game Theory will be highly appreciated.
