Research Assistant in Algorithmic Game Theory - ALGAME (2 posts)

Grade 7: £30,434 – £37,394 p.a.

Fixed-term for up to 2 years (with the possibility of extension).

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Department of Computer Science for 2 full-time Research Assistants to work with Professor Elias Koutsoupias on algorithmic game theory.

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.

The posts, which are full-time appointments, are funded by the European Research Council, are available for up to 2 years (with the possibility of extension for a further 1 year), and have a salary on the University grade 07S scale (currently £30,434 - £37,394 p.a.), will include membership of USS as well as an annual leave entitlement of 38 days per year (inclusive of all public holidays and university closed periods).

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 20 May 2015.
