• Are you a motivated, early career scientist with expertise in Algorithmic Decision Theory?
• Do you have, or will shortly obtain, a PhD in computational social choice or other related discipline?
• Join CSIRO’s Data61, the largest data innovation group in Australia                                                                       

The Position:  

We are seeking talented researchers with core expertise in algorithmic decision theory, computational social choice, computational complexity and more broadly artificial intelligence.

You will be working in ADT, a group with expertise in core methods that spans a wide area of artificial intelligence and computational economics. You will also collaborate with experts in related fields such as computational complexity. You will be solving real-world problems and be contributing to foundational work on ADT. You will be pushing the boundaries of the state of the art on challenging ADT projects.

 Your duties will include:

• Under the direction of senior research scientists, carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes.
• Researching, designing and developing new theory, mechanisms, and algorithms in the area of algorithmic decision theory.
• Undertake regular reviews of relevant literature and patents.
• Produce high quality scientific and/or engineering papers suitable for publication in quality journals, for client reports and granting of patents.
• Prepare appropriate conference papers and present those at conferences as agreed with your supervisor.

                                                                           
Location:  Kensington, NSW

Tenure:     Specified Term of 3 years
Ref no:      58821

To be considered you will have:

• A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as computational social choice. Please note: To be eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years of relevant postdoctoral experience.
• Experience in one or more of the following topics: algorithmic decision theory, computational social choice, mechanism design.
• Experience in computational complexity and analysis of algorithms.
• A record of high quality publication in top ranked conferences and journals in related fields
• Experiences in parameterized complexity, approximation algorithms and/or experimental analysis of algorithms are desirable
