THE UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL -- DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
CHAIR IN COMPUTER SCIENCE -- ECONOMICS AND COMPUTATION
Salary negotiable
The Department of Computer Science was ranked in the top 10 UK Computer Science departments in RAE2008, and building on this success, seeks to significantly expand current research around existing strengths at the intersection of economics/game theory and computer science. To this end, we invite applications for a full Professorship to be attached to the newly established Economics & Computation Research Group.
Led by Professor Paul Goldberg, the Group carries out research in the computational foundations of economics/game theory and economic theory in computer science. In addition to Prof Goldberg, the group currently has three other faculty members: Dr Martin Gairing, Dr Piotr Krysta, and Dr Rahul Savani.
Current areas of research activity in the group include:
* algorithmic game theory;
* mechanism design and auction theory;
* complexity of solution concepts, algorithms for solution concepts;
* optimisation problems in economics;
* computational social choice.
We welcome applications from candidates in these areas, as well as more application-oriented areas, such as recommender systems, and related areas, such as computational finance and computational economics.
Two further faculty positions have been approved for this group, and will be advertised after the professorial appointment. It is expected that the successful candidate will be actively involved with these appointments.
The successful candidate will have an excellent track record of research leadership at the intersection of computer science and economics/game theory, and will join a dynamic, world-class Department.
Informal enquiries may be directed to the head of group:

Many institutions limit access to their online information. Making this information available will be an asset to all.
OK, the above is comment spam that is a link to a site that sells "research papers" to students who have been assigned to do some research... I will leave the comment there because I found their site rather entertaining - here is a quote (I did not change the grammar or punctuation):
It is not only a research paper that you get after the completion of the third step. You will also get.
A dream night with peaceful sleep without any stress of writing a research paper.
No more missed parties or hangouts.
Free of mind appearance in social and family gatherings.
