[DMANET] DPhil studentship (industry co-funded), Oxford University

Project title:
Decentralised arbitration: crowdsourcing judgements in dispute resolution

This is a DPhil studentship that is part-funded by Kleros, who develop
online blockchain-based systems for dispute resolution, in which
settlements of disputes are crowdsourced from multiple users.
This leads to interesting challenges of how to incentivise users to make
carefully-considered judgements, and how those judgements should be
aggregated.

The project support a DPhil student for 3.5 years and covers UK tuition
fees.
There are 2 rounds of applications, first deadlines is 3rd December 2024
