Description
The Center for Algorithms, Data, and Market Design (CADMY) is a cross-university center that seeks to support and further research at the intersection of Computer Science, Data Science, and Economics.
CADMY is offering several Postdoctoral Associate (PDA) positions designed for recent graduates of PhD programs working at the intersection of computer science, data science, and economics. We are particularly interested in candidates with a research focus on algorithms and theory of computation; machine learning and AI, including learning theory, LLMs, and alignment; algorithmic game theory and mechanism/market design; learning in strategic and multi-agent settings; causal inference; networks; and blockchains. We welcome applicants from computer science, economics, and statistics and data science. Candidates working in core computer science or machine learning are encouraged to apply; prior work in economics is not required.
Postdoctoral Associates are expected to be present on the Yale campus three full days per week, contribute to research and publications, and participate in seminars and conferences at Yale. Postdoctoral Associates are strongly urged to reside in the New Haven area.
The resident Postdoctoral Associate will start their appointment on July 1, 2027, or later based on mutual agreement, for the duration of one year. Postdoctoral Associates may apply for a second year of support. CADMY Postdoctoral Associates receive a salary of 105,000 USD per year plus Yale benefits, a travel/research stipend of 10,000 USD, and office space.

Applicants must have completed their PhD prior to the start of their appointment as a Postdoctoral Associate and are expected to demonstrate a strong record of research and publication.
