PhD Studentship: Norm-Discovery In Game Theoretic Experiments

2 months ago


Egham, United Kingdom Royal Holloway, University of London Full time

Project Description

Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD scholarship in the Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway, University of London, as part of the Leverhulme funded project entitled “Social Mechanisms and Allocations” seeking to understand how social norms develop and sustain themselves. The successful applicant will be working in game theoretic experiments using agent-based modelling and multi-agent systems learning, under the supervision of Professor Kostas Stathis (project co-investigator) in close collaboration with Professor David Levine (the Leverhulme fellow and the project’s principal investigator based in the Department of Economics) and Professor Ryan McKay (the other project co-investigator based in the Department of Psychology). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Hybrid and Adaptive Agent-based Models;
  • Agent-based Modelling with Human-like behaviours;
  • Norm-emergence in Agent-based Models;
  • Platforms for Game-theoretic Simulations.

The student will be expected to work in an interdisciplinary team of economists, psychologists, and computer scientists for a third of their time. The position will be hosted in the Centre for Intelligent Systems, in Computer Science located in the state-of-the-art premises of the School of Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Sciences in Egham. For more information about the project, the research areas, and the post, please contact Prof Kostas Stathis (kostas.stathis@rhul.ac.uk).

Entry Requirements

Applicants should have a first-class honours degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, an MSc in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and/or Machine Learning (ML), as well as software development skills in Python and/or Java/Prolog. Among desirable skills we expect candidates to have experience with agent architectures, game-theoretic simulations, the formalisation of norms, as well as the application of computers in economics. Industrial experience in AI/ML will also be a plus.

How to Apply

Apply online, by clicking the 'Apply' button, above.

Please select "PhD Computer Science" as the course title within the application form and prepare the following documents:
