Full Text of JOE Listing:
Economists and computer scientists have collaborated with mathematicians, operations research experts, and practitioners to improve the design and operations of real-world marketplaces. Such work relies on robust feedback between theory and practice, inspiring new mathematics closely linked, and directly applicable, to market and mechanism design questions. This cross-disciplinary program seeks to expand the domains in which existing market design solutions can be applied; address foundational questions regarding our ways of developing and evaluating mechanisms; and build useful analytic frameworks for applying theory to practical marketplace design.
SLMath will award 6-8 semester-long postdoctoral fellowships in the Mathematical and Computer Science of Market and Mechanism Design program, held August 21-December 20, 2023.
The fellowship stipend is $9,000/mo, with a travel subsidy for one round-trip from your current institution to Berkeley, and $600 for research travel. Health, dental and vision insurance is provided. Postdocs cannot receive any other monetary compensation during their SLMath fellowship.
Postdocs must hold a PhD in math, computer science, economics, or other closely relevant field at the time of their proposed residency. PhD must have been awarded on or after August 31, 2018. Postdocs are required to be in residence for the duration of the program.
