Our role is to allocate resources to critical projects, to be a valued voice within the Ethereum ecosystem, and to advocate for Ethereum to the outside world.OverviewThe EF is looking to hire a Microeconomics and Market Structure Research Scientist for the Robust Incentives Group, an Ethereum Research team.Cryptoeconomic interactions allow blockchain users to express complex preferences via orders fulfilled by a plethora of market participants, from base or secondary layer protocols to third-party sequencers. Settlement requires blockspace, a novel good with unique properties, manufactured and sold within decentralized systems. As the value for blockspace balloons to unprecedented highs, market sophistication increases. It is critical for protocols to understand this emerging landscape and provide public research to foster open conversations.At the Robust Incentives Group, you will be at the forefront of these conversations.

    • You’re independently-minded and self-motivated. You also enjoy the benefits of a remote-first team and the opportunities to collaborate with your teammates.
    • You have research experience in (algorithmic) game theory, mechanism design, microeconomics, market structure, financial engineering, econometrics, computer science, mathematics, blockchain protocols or other relevant domains.
