*Call for Expressions of Interest*

*2 Post-Doc Positions*
(pending funding approval)

@ The British University in Dubai
Affiliated with the University of Edinburgh

A project in the area of agent-based electronic commerce is currently under
funding consideration by a government agency. The project would have an
industry partner, which offers a unique opportunity to develop technology
that may be commercialised by a big player in the region.

If funding is approved, we will be looking at employing 2 post-doctoral
research fellows for a period of 2 years. The post-docs will help strengthen
the newly formed Dubai Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
(DAMAS)<http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/irahwan/damas>research group.
The post-docs would be appointed roughly in the following
two areas:

[Position 1:] Game theory, reputation systems, and/or argumentation

[Position 2:] Multi-agent learning and/or adaptive catalog management

We are sending this "call for expressions of interest" at an early stage
because if funding is secured, we are likely to commence the work soon
thereafter.
