Applications are invited for a Part-time 0.1282FTE post of a Research Assistant within Mechanical & Materials Engineering. Project ENIGMA seeks to investigate a shortest-path network interdiction game involving an attacker and a defender with asymmetric information over time horizon. The information asymmetry presented in this problem places the defender at a disadvantage. That is, in each time epoch, the defender needs to determine how to modify (or not to modify) the network. The attacker then observes the defender's decisions, as well as the reduction in uncertainty, before selecting the next move. 7962 Research Assistant 2017 €33,291 - €43,372 per annum (pro rata @ 5hrs per week - €4,267 - €5,560 per annum) Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
