Postdoc on "Game-Theoretical Aspects of Large Data and Communication Networks", Hamilton ON (Canada)

Postdoctoral Position on "Game-Theoretical Aspects of Large Data and
Communication Networks" in AdvOL at the School of Computational
Engineering & Science, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada


The School of Computational Engineering & Science of McMaster
University is looking for post-doctoral candidates with expertise in
Theoretical Computer Science, and in particular in the study of
game-theoretical aspects of data and communication networks.

The successful candidate will be expected to work in the frame of a
MITACS founded project and possibly split the duration of his/her
appointment between McMaster University (in Hamilton, Ontario)
and McGill University (in Montreal, Quebec). Details of this project
such as the group members, research scope, and its industrial
partners can be found at the project web site:

The duration of the position is one year, and during that time the
successful candidate should collaborate with the MITACS project
group and School members in conducting high quality research.

Expertise in combinatorial optimization, game theory and its
algorithmic aspects, selfish routing and theoretical aspects of
wireless networks is particularly sought.

AdvOL (http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~oplab/index.html) and the
School of Computational Engineering & Science
(http://computational.mcmaster.ca)
offer a highly active research-intensive environment.

Applicants should have a PhD. in Computer Science, Operations
Research, or fields related to the research topics mentioned above.

The application should include the following:
-- curriculum vitae,
-- publication list,
-- list of references,

Applications will be accepted until a suitable candidate is selected.
