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.
