Two postdoctoral positions in algorithmic game theory, Liverpool & Glasgow (U.K.), Deadline: 12 Nov 2012

Two Postdoc Positions in Algorithmic Game Theory, Liverpool and Glasgow

Two postdoc positions in Algorithmic Game Theory are available at the 
Universities of Liverpool and Glasgow, on a EPSRC-funded research project 
entitled "Efficient Algorithms for Mechanism Design without Monetary 
Transfer".

The aim of this project is to find new approximate and optimal, truthful 
mechanisms for combinatorial auctions, matching problems with preferences 
and facility location problems, in each case in the absence of monetary 
transfer. This will involve theoretical research, to include the design 
and analysis of new algorithms, and also practical implementation and 
experimental evaluation of these algorithms. Deadline: 12 November 2012.
