It's tough to gain visibility as a young researcher, and it's job market season! Are you a theoretical computer science PhD/postdoc on the job market? I don't have a crazy juge audience but I'll try to help a bit: fill this form, and I'll tweet your pitch and info! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Excited to talk about our paper on "Optimal Stopping with Interdependent Values" tomorrow on TCS+! Joint work with my awesome collaborators Simon Mauras and Rebecca Reiffenhäuser. We consider a simple model of online selection under partial information & interdependencies. I hope to see you there!

This year’s SIGecom job market candidate profiles are now available. Please share the following link with anyone you think may be interested in hiring from our community in either postdoctoral or faculty positions: www.cs.drexel.edu/~vg399/SIGec...

Check this out! Really cool mix of interdependent values, prophet inequalities, and the secretary model. They definitely modeled this well and did some cute things here. Oh, and hire @divyarthi.bsky.social, she's on the market this year! :)

Next week on TCS+, Divyarthi Mohan (@divyarthi.bsky.social) from Boston University will speak about "Optimal Stopping with Interdependent Values" Details and (free) registration: tcsplus.wordpress.com/2024/11/13/t... #TCSSky #TheoryCS #EconSky
