Postdocs post

Every so often I post announcements regarding postdoc positions. Let me try to do the opposite: urge faculty members and departments who are offering postdoc positions related to economics and computation / algorithmic game theory to post them as comments to this post.

A postdoc position is being offered at the Israeli Center of Research Excellence in Algorithms (joint between the Hebrew U., Tel-Aviv U. and Weizmann). The call is open for all areas related to algorithms including algorithmic game theory. See: http://www.icore-algo.org.il/?q=content/postdoc-announcement

Two x 5 Year Research Positions – Logic, Game Theory, Complexity

Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, UK

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 12 noon on 27th APRIL 2012
################################################################

Two Research Assistant positions are available, based in the
Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, to work on
investigating the formal/automated analysis of computer programs in
the presence of self-interested behaviour.

The posts are attached to the ERC Advanced Grant “Reasoning about
Computational Economies” (RACE), recently obtained by Professor
Michael Wooldridge, who will join the University of Oxford on 1 June
2012. The overall aim of the project is to develop the theory and
tools required to understand how computer programs behave in the
presence of self-interested behaviour. It is anticipated that
techniques from game theory, logic, and computational complexity will
be used for this purpose. The main duties of both posts will be to
carry out research on this topic and to produce high-quality research
publications.

Applicants for both posts should hold a relevant doctoral degree as
well as relevant research publications.

The posts are available for up 5 years from 1 June 2012, and have a
salary on the University grade 07 salary scale (currently £29,249 to
£35,938 p.a.).

INFORMAL ENQUIRIES

status, sexual orientation, religion or belief, racial group, or
disability.

We have a postdoc position in algorithmic game theory and its interface with approximation algorithms and combinatorial optimization at the Combinatorics & Optimization (C&O) department in the University of Waterloo.

Interested applicants should apply ASAP by sending me email; a Google search for me will bring up my homepage with contact details.

Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in Computational Game Theory/Multiagent Systems

The Teamcore Research Group
Computer Science Department
University of Southern California
Summer/Fall 2012

The Teamcore group is focused on research in applying multiagent systems to real-world problems. Indeed, today, our game-theoretic algorithms have been deployed for real-world use by several agencies including the LAX police, the Federal Air Marshals service, the US Coast Guard, the LA Sheriff’s Dept; and we are actively collaborating with several other agencies to conduct use-motivated research in comptuational game theory.

We have new openings for post-doctoral research associate position starting in Summer/Fall 2012. Research emphasis will be on new algorithmic approaches in multiagent systems and but also on their practical implementations / applications. Interested applicants should send their CV and have three letters of recommendation forwarded to Professor Milind Tambe (tambe@usc.edu).

A key aspect of our research is the interdisciplinary partnerships beyond Computer Science. To that end, one key group that a potential postdoctoral research associate will interact with is the Game Theory and Human Behavior group at USC http://gthb.usc.edu. However, research projects also include several other collaborations; please see our web pages (http://teamcore.usc.edu).
