[DMANET] PhD position at TU Berlin

A PhD position is available in the research group of Prof. Markus Brill (www.algo.tu-berlin.de<http://www.algo.tu-berlin.de>) at TU Berlin in Germany.

The successful applicant will work within the DFG funded Emmy Noether project "Foundations of Interactive Democracy" (http://www.algo.tu-berlin.de/fid). The project has sufficient travel money available to support conference and workshop attendance as well as research visits to other groups internationally. There are no teaching obligations.

We are looking for candidates with a strong interest in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computer science, economics, mathematics, and political science. Relevant fields include Algorithmic Economics, Computational Social Choice, and Digital Democracy (aka e-democracy).

The main research themes of the group are computational social choice and algorithmic game theory. Therefore, applicants must have a strong background in discrete mathematics and algorithms. Research experience in (algorithmic) game theory and/or (computational) social choice is beneficial. Fluency in written and spoken English is required. Programming skills are a plus.

The position is for 3 years with the possibility of extension. The starting date is negotiable; we are interested in filling the position as soon as possible. The position is full-time and paid according to salary grade 100% TV-L E 13 (the standard rate for junior scientific staff at German universities; salary depends on experience and amounts to at least 2200 Euro net per month).

Berlin has been repeatedly voted one of the world's most livable cities and offers a vibrant, creative, and international living environment. Berlin's scientific landscape with three leading universities offers plenty of collaboration opportunities, for example in the context of the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, the Einstein Center Digital Future, The Berlin Mathematics Research Center MATH+, the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS), or the DFG research training group Facets of Complexity.

The official job advertisement (including application instructions) can be found at https://tub.stellenticket.de/de/offers/62815/

The deadline for applications is 5 May 2019.

For informal inquiries please contact Markus Brill (brill@tu-berlin.de<mailto:brill@tu-berlin.de>).
