• GAMENET the European Network for Game Theory is a project funded by
  the European Union ( COST Action CA 16228) to connect game theorists
  working in academia and in industry in different countries.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network – EvoGamesPlus (Evolutionary games and population dynamics: from theory to applications) invites applications for 15 early-stage researcher (ESR) / PhD positions, available with a starting date in the period July 2021 – September 2021. The appointments will be on a full-time, fixed term employment contract basis for a duration of 36 months.  

The Game Theory Group at the Technion is inviting applications for fully funded postdoctoral positions in Game Theory (broadly defined).

Postdocs will work with a varied team comprised of both leading researchers and young, highly motivated colleagues, all of whom are passionate about topics at the intersection of computer science, economics, operations research, and game theory.  

Requirements: 

• A PhD degree obtained no later than 6 months after the date of application and no earlier than 4 years before the date of application 
• Evidence of successful research accomplishments.

 If you fit this profile and are passionate about an academic research career path, we would love to hear from you. Women are particularly encouraged to apply. 

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until positions are filled. The exact starting date is flexible/negotiable. Positions are for 1 year and are renewable for up to 3 years. There are no teaching duties (in some cases, compensation for performing additional teaching duties may be arranged). Further information is available online.

Applications should be addressed to GameTheory@technion.ac.il and should include:

1. a)    CV
2. b)    One representing research paper (possibly published)
3. c)    A short research statement (no more than 200 words)
4. d)    3 recommendation letters (please ask for these to be sent directly to GameTheory@technion.ac.il)

Typically post-doctoral scholarships range from $25,000 to $40,000 per year and carry no teaching duties. Note that scholarship income is not taxed in Israel and this may apply to non-residents through tax treaties. Also, the cost of living in Haifa is comparatively low. For example, the monthly rental of a one/two bedroom apartment in Haifa costs around $500-$800.
