IOHK, a leading blockchain company, is looking for research fellows or 
postdoctoral researchers in algorithmic game theory to join their team. 
Successful candidates will collaborate with a growing team of 
researchers and  pursue various game theoretic research directions in 
the area of blockchains. IOHK conducts open research and disseminates 
results publicly without restrictions in academic fora, conferences, and 
journals. The positions are available immediately and will be open until 
they are filled.

Successful candidates are expected to follow the state of the art of the 
field and also contribute in shaping the research agenda of the company. 
Current research interest in IOHK includes

(a) incentives for participating users to organize and form pools for 
collaboration, or more generally reward schemes for collaborative projects,
  (b) the study of transaction fees via optimal repeated auctions or by 
simpler schemes such as posted prices,

(c) incentives for participating in a p2p network in reliable robust ways,

(d) funding of projects by treasuries (participatory budgeting), and 
incentives for achieving appropriate levels of participation and 
expertise in large collaborative projects,

(e) mining games and game-theoretic issues related to the tradeoff 
between latency and consensus in blockchains.

Candidates should hold a PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Economics 
or a related field and have an excellent research record.
