Most research on the evolution of cooperation in humans has focused on the benefits that cooperation brings about. However, if reached at the expense of others, cooperation can also have negative consequences. The negative consequences of cooperation become apparent in extra-legal contexts, where agents must join forces in pursuit of their individual goals but cannot trust one another nor appeal to the law. We seek to appoint a PhD candidate who will perform research on the “dark side” of cooperation using computational social science methods.
This project is embedded in the Department of Sociology/Research school ICS, and the candidate will be supervised by Dr. Wojtek Przepiorka and Prof. Dr. Vincent Buskens.
