The UNIVERSITY of LIVERPOOL -- DEPARTMENT of COMPUTER SCIENCE

TWO LECTURERSHIPS AVAILABLE in ECONOMICS and COMPUTATION

SALARY IN RANGE GBP 36,715 - 41,323 per annum

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Liverpool was
ranked in the top 10 UK Computer Science departments in the UK
Government's 2008 assessment of research quality (RAE2008).
Building on this success, we seek to significantly expand current
research around existing strengths at the intersection of
economics/game theory and computer science through the appointment of
two lecturers (a lecturer is broadly the UK equivalent of a tenured
assistant professor, with full opportunities for promotion to full
professor).

You will join Professor Paul Goldberg, Dr Martin Gairing, Dr Piotr
Krysta, and Dr Rahul Savani in our newly established research group on
Economics and Computation. The group carries out research in the
computational foundations of economics and game theory and enjoys
close collaborative links with other strong research groups in the
Department (algorithms and complexity theory, multi-agent systems, and
logic and computation). Current research interest of the group
include:

* algorithmic game theory;
* mechanism design and auction theory;
* complexity of solution concepts;
* optimization problems in economics;
* computational social choice;
* e-commerce. 

You should have a PhD in Computer Science or related discipline and an
excellent track record of research at the intersection of computer
science and economics/e-commerce/game theory.

The post attracts a special HEFCE-funded "Golden Hello" to the value
of GBP 9K, subject to individuals satisfying the eligibility criteria.
