Subject: [DMANET] A postdoc position in Algorithmic Game Theory at the 
University of Warwick
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2019 10:37:40 +0000
From: Jurdzinski, Marcin <Marcin.Jurdzinski at warwick.ac.uk>
To: dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de <dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de>

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in the area of the Algorithmic 
Game Theory is available for one year. The start date can be negotiated 
for the right candidate.

The position is in connection with an EPSRC research grant of Dr Marcin 
Jurdzinski and Prof Ranko Lazic on Solving Parity Games in Theory and 
Practice. Parity games are an intriguing problem class, because they are 
simple to state and have proven to be resistant to countless attempts to 
classify their complexity. At the same time, algorithms for solving 
parity games play a paramount role in model checking, satisfiability 
checking, and synthesis. The main objective of the post is to pursue 
cutting-edge research on algorithms and solvers for parity games, as 
well as mean payoff, discounted payoff, and simple stochastic games.

You will have a strong background in Theoretical Computer Science, with 
a specialisation in Algorithmic Game Theory, Automata Theory or Model 
Checking. You will have (or expect to obtain shortly) a PhD in the 
relevant area. You should provide with your application form a CV, 
including a list of publications, a research statement, and a short 
statement highlighting your suitability for this post.

You will be formally based in the Department of Computer Science at the 
University of Warwick, and you will be associated with the Centre for 
Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP, 
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/dimap) and the Division of 
Theory and Foundations 
(https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/research/focs/people/) at the 
University of Warwick. The project will be collaborative with Prof Sven 
Schewe, Dr John Fearnley and Dr Dominik Wojtczak at the University of 
Liverpool.

The closing date for applying is 30 June 2019. Please see the full
