[DMANET] Postdoctoral position in Algorithmic Game Theory -- Deadline April 22

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position funded by the
EPSRC grant EP/M018113/1 "Incentives without monetary transfers" to
work in the research area of algorithmic game theory with Carmine
Ventre in the School of Computing at Teesside University. The project
mainly aims at reconsidering the role of money as a 'necessary evil'
in Algorithmic Mechanism Design by leveraging restricted domains,
approximation, and well-motivated, relaxed notions of truthfulness.

Prospective candidates must have (or about to have) a PhD in a
relevant area, significant (commensurate with academic age) research
experience in theoretical computer science enriched by a record of
publications in leading academic venues. Expertise/Knowledge of
(algorithmic) game theory/mechanism design would be deemed an
advantage.

The (negotiable) starting date for the successful candidate is 1
October 2015. The position is for a year; salary is in the range
30k-35k GBP per year.

**** Application deadline: April 22, 2015 ****
