Are you looking for a PhD position where you can use your mathematical 
skills to improve how we make decisions, arrive at compromises, and 
aggregate information in a group? Are you excited about doing this kind of 
research in an interdisciplinary environment, in a team with smart and 
friendly colleagues? And are you interested in an academic career in 
Artificial Intelligence?

Then you may want to join us. We are looking for a PhD candidate in the 
field of computational social choice to join us in the COMSOC Group ( 
https://staff.fnwi.uva.nl/u.endriss/group.php) at the Institute for Logic, 
Language and Computation (ILLC; http://www.illc.uva.nl/) in Amsterdam.

The research agenda of our group is dedicated to the design and analysis 
of methods for collective decision making. The research we do is both 
mathematical and conceptual in nature. We regularly publish in the leading 
conference proceedings and journals in AI, and we also emphasise 
interdisciplinarity and often reach out to other fields, notably 
Economics, Political Science, and Philosophy. Relevant keywords include 
decision theory, game theory, social choice theory, Al, multiagent 
systems, and knowledge representation.
