[DMANET] PhD position in Economics and Computation at Imperial College London

Dear Colleagues, Applications are invited for a PhD student in Economics and Computation under the supervision of Aris Filos-Ratsikas at Imperial College London, see more information below. Imperial College London has 4 PhD application deadlines during the year (October/December/February/April). For full funding consideration, please apply by 1st October 2026. The starting date of the PhD would be 1st October 2027. More information on how to apply can be found here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/computing/prospective-students/courses/phd/phd-application-guidelines/ For informal inquiries, prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Aris Filos-Ratsikas directly at Aris.Filos-Ratsikas@imperial.ac.uk <mailto:Aris.Filos-Ratsikas@imperial.ac.uk>. Information for the PhD position: The area of Economics and Computation studies problems of an economic nature from the perspective of computer science. This includes areas such as Algorithmic Game Theory and Mechanism Design, Social Choice Theory, and Fair Division. These problems are characterised by a set of agents that have preferences over a set of possible outcomes, and the goal is to design good algorithms for aggregating those preferences, or for studying the outcomes of the strategic interactions between those agents. Potential themes for the PhD project are the fair division of divisible and indivisible resources, the distortion in social choice theory, or the computational complexity of problems related to equilibrium computation in games or markets. Ideal candidates for the PhD studentships will have an interest and an existing background in theoretical computer science and algorithm design and analysis. Experience with algorithmic game theory or social choice theory is desirable, but not required. In general, candidates with a strong mathematical background are very welcome to apply. ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.
