The Institute of Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam is currently looking for one PhD student and one postdoctoral research fellow to work on research problems in computational social choice. The positions are part of the new NWO Vidi project on "Collective Decision Making in Combinatorial Domains".
The project will bring together ideas from computer science, artificial intelligence, multiagent systems, computational logic, and social choice theory to develop and analyse mechanisms for collective decision making when the set of possible agreements has a combinatorial structure. Exemplary applications include resource allocation problems with indivisible goods and the study of voting rules for committee elections. Further details on the project and the positions are available at the following URL: http://www.illc.uva.nl/~ulle/vidi/ The closing date for applications is 9 November 2007 and the preferred starting date would be 1 February 2008.
