PhD Position at the University of Warwick

Applications are invited for a PhD position at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick. The selected candidate will be advised by Markus Brill on topics related to Computational Social Choice (e.g., multiwinner voting, proportional representation, participatory budgeting, liquid democracy, e-democracy). To get an idea about my research, please have a look at some of my recent papers.
