The candidates should strong ability to do research independently, and able to interact with the grant managers effectively, and capable of mentoring PhD students.

The pros are that there is a lot of flexibility in defining the research agenda. There is great opportunity for meeting and collaborating with exceptional researchers from academia and companies who are also part of the grant.

The general topics of the project:

- network science: modeling the structure and the evolution of complex networks and systems including communication, information, and social networks, and their interactions.
Sample topics: sampling a large network, identifying structure and communities, predicting the evolution, decision making in a distributed env.

- Modeling trust and trust propagation in a networked environment including defining the meaning of trust and trustworthiness, theoretical and experimental analysis of trust establishment
