[DMANET] One PhD position in Computational Social Choice at TU Wien

Dear all,

I'm offering one PhD position at TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, to work on my
WWTF research project titled

"Structural and Algorithmic Aspects of Preference-based Problems in
Social Choice"

https://www.wwtf.at/funding/programmes/vrg/VRG18-012/index.php?lang=EN

The research topics include voting, structured preferences, stable
matching (matchings under preferences), resource allocation, with a
focus on parameterized and approximation algorithm design.

The position is available immediately. Applicants with a solid
background in areas such as algorithm design (including but not limited
to parameterized algorithms and approximation algorithms), computational
complexity, and/or discrete mathematics are welcome to apply.

Please send your application in a single PDF file, including
(1) your academic CV,
(2) a reference letter from your supervisor,
(3) a motivation letter, including an explanation of your research
interests,
(4) your Master's thesis and
