Job description

Many real-world applications are complex and distributed in nature in that they involve a multitude of independent decision makers who attempt to achieve their own goals. It is well-known that strategic choices often result in outcomes that are inefficient for the society as a whole. Algorithmic game theory has shed new light on various aspects of such situations of strategic interaction. However, most studies assume that the decision makers correspond to “isolated" entities who make their choices based on purely selfish incitements. This assumption is overly simplistic: Decision makers are often motivated by other-regarding preferences such as altruism, spite or fairness and typically exhibit complex social relationships. The goal of the project is to gain an accurate understanding of such social interactions in games.
Relevant research aspects of the PhD project include (but are not limited to) inefficiency of equilibria, complexity of games, algorithmic mechanism design, etc.
The PhD candidate will be given the possibility to pursue part of her/his studies abroad, to attend international doctoral schools, conferences and workshops, and to participate in the national PhD programme organized by the LNMB (Dutch Network on the Mathematics of Operations Research).

Requirements

The PhD candidate is required to have a master's degree in mathematics or computer science and should have an excellent background in combinatorial optimization and algorithms. Ideally, the candidate has already worked in the area of algorithmic game theory and demonstrated the ability to pursue independent research. Candidates are expected to have an excellent command of English, and good academic writing and presentation skills.

Conditions of employment

The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labor Agreement for Research Institutes ("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen"). Moreover CWI offers attractive working conditions, including flexible scheduling and help with housing for expat employees. CWI also offers excellent and flexible terms of employment, including an employee pension fund.
The gross monthly salary, for an employee on a full time basis, is €2,057 during the first year and increases to €2,636 over the four year period. Expats may apply for a profitable tax ruling, which, if approved by the tax authorities, would mean not having to pay taxes over 30% of your income.

Contract type: Temporary, 4 years.

Organisation

Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI)

Founded in 1946, the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) is the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands.

Of course, library and computing facilities are first-rate. CWI's non-scientific services to its personnel include career planning, training and courses, and assistance in finding housing.
