The Center for Algorithm, Data and Market Design is a cross-university center that seeks to support and further research at the intersection of computer science, data science and economics.
The Center is offering several Postdoctoral Associate positions designed for recent graduates of Ph.D. programs working at the intersection of Computer Science, Data Science and Economics. We are particularly interested in candidates with interest in algorithms, blockchains and cryptocurrency, causal inference, game theory, learning, machine learning, market design, and networks, but all subjects at the intersection of these three scientific disciplines are invited to apply.
