[DMANET] Two Research Assistant Positions in Algorithmic Game Theory at University of Oxford

Professor Elias Koutsoupias is looking for two Research Assistants to join the ERC project "Algorithms, Games, Mechanisms, and the Price of Anarchy" (ALGAME) at the University of Oxford.

The "Algorithms, Games, Mechanisms, and the Price of Anarchy" (ALGAME) project involves investigating, designing, and analysing mechanisms, extending the theory of the price of anarchy and stability, and investigating game-playing issues that arise by applying the algorithmic approach (e.g. limitations in computation and communication) to classical game theory.

Candidates should have a first degree and a doctorate in computer science (or related discipline), and a record of research in algorithmic game theory or a related area. Experience of working in collaborative or inter-disciplinary environments is highly desired.

This is a fixed-term contract for up to 2 years (with the possibility of extension). The salary range is £30,434 - £37,394 p.a.

Details and application form at https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.display_form.

Deadline for applications: 20 May 2015 at 12 noon.
