Postdoctoral position in Foundations of Opinion Formation

A postdoc position will be available at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Liverpool on the EPSRC project "Foundations of Opinion Formation in Autonomous Systems". The position will be available for one year, starting in October 2015. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Dr Davide Grossi.

The project interfaces themes and techniques from logic, multi-agent systems, network theory and social choice theory. Its aim is to deliver a first critical mass of theoretical results concerning how opinion formation in autonomous systems can be modeled, analysed and engineered. Candidates should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD and should have (co-)authored papers in logic, computer science, economics or closely related subjects.

Deadline for application: 26 June 2015. For more information, see http://www.liv.ac.uk/working/jobvacancies/currentvacancies/research/r-588052/.
