We are searching for:

**Lecturer / Postdoc in Artificial Intelligence (100% or part-time)**
(Duration: 2 years, with the possibility of extension)

**About us:**
The Computation and Economics Research Group, led by Prof. Sven Seuken, 
currently consists of one professor, one Postdoc, and six PhD students. 
All group members have a strong background in mathematics/computer 
science and work on AI, machine learning, and market design research 
questions. Market design is a research field that combines techniques 
from computer science, game theory, operations research, and other 
fields to analyze and design real-world marketplaces. In our research 
group, we study foundational market design questions from an 
algorithmic/computational and game-theoretic perspective. Current group 
members work on a variety of projects, including active learning in 
combinatorial assignment problems, techniques for capturing model 
uncertainty in neural networks, algorithms for finding equilibria in 
auctions, and machine learning-powered preference elicitation in 
combinatorial auctions, course allocation, drone traffic management, and 
adoption marketplaces. We publish our research exclusively in top 
international conferences (e.g., AAAI, IJCAI, EC) and journals (e.g., 
JAIR, JET, Management Science). In some projects, we also collaborate 
with industrial partners such as Google Research and Microsoft Research.

**We offer:**
- a team of young and highly motivated colleagues who are passionate 
about topics at the intersection of AI, machine learning, and game 
theory (in particular: market design)
- a competitive salary of approximately 90,000 Euro per year and 
generous social benefits
- generous support for professional travel and research needs
- strong support for your career development
- life in a cosmopolitan city that regularly ranks as one of the cities 
with the highest quality of life in the world.

**About the position:**
We accept applications from all candidates with a PhD who have a strong 
background in Artificial Intelligence. The successful candidate will 
become a Postdoc/Lecturer at the Department of Informatics of the 
University of Zurich (Switzerland's largest university) and will also be 
affiliated with the ETH AI Center (one of the world’s top places for 
research on AI and machine learning). The UZH Department of Informatics 
and the ETH AI Center are in 3 min walking distance from each other. The 
candidate is free to conduct research on any topic, including the 
continuation of existing research projects. The candidate is invited 
(but not required) to join the ERC research project on “Machine 
Learning-based Market Design” led by Prof. Sven Seuken. In terms of 
teaching, the candidate is required to prepare and teach a new course 
called “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” (6 ECTS credits), once 
per year. This course will be offered on the Bachelor’s level at UZH; 
the course will start on February 21, 2022. Therefore, experience in 
teaching such a course (e.g., as a teaching assistant) is a required. 
The exact topics to be covered in the course are still flexible.

**You have:**
- a PhD degree in computer science or a related field with a focus on 
Artificial Intelligence
- a very good publication record in your field
- a passion for research in AI (interest or experience in game theory is 
a plus, but not required)
- experience teaching a course on AI or machine learning (e.g., as a 
teaching assistant)
- excellent communication skills in English (German speaking skills are 
not necessary)

If you fit this profile and are passionate about research and teaching, 
then we would love to hear from you. Women are particularly encouraged 
to apply. To apply, please send an email with your CV and any other 
relevant material to: seuken at ifi.uzh.ch

All applications received by December 6, 2021 will be considered. 
Applications received afterwards will be considered until the position 
is filled. If you do not hear back from us by December 13, then you have 
not advanced to the interview round. The final hiring decision is 
expected to be made until the end of December 2021. The position is 
immediately available. The latest possible starting date is February 14, 
2021. Further information about the research group is available online
