The Faculty of Economics at the University of Cambridge is looking to
hire a Research Associate/Postdoctoral Fellow starting October 2022,
although the starting date is negotiable.
We are looking for a candidate with an interest in interdisciplinary
research and teaching straddling the fields of economics and computer
science. The post is attached to Prof. Peter Bossaerts' Leverhulme Trust
International Professorship. The research aims at exploring and
understanding human adaptability in the face of uncertainty induced by
complexity. For this position, the successful candidate should be an
expert in the theory of computational complexity. Knowledge of economics
is not a must, but familiarity with it is a plus, especially if this
concerns contract theory or game theory and mechanism design. The
successful candidate will be expected to work on exploring contract
theory and mechanism design when agents want to delegate computationally
complex tasks. Therefore, genuine interest in applying insights from
theoretical computer science to exploring human behavior is a must. The
successful candidate is expected to publish in high-impact academic
journals, and to contribute to the collegial and intellectual life of
the Economics Faculty while helping promote interdisciplinarity across
campus.
