[jobs] Postdoc position on real-world combinatorial optimisation at TU Delft

[Neil Yorke-Smith]

Scaling scheduling and optimisation algorithms in the face of the
complexity of real problems -- does your work influence both theory and
practice?

The Algorithmics group at TU Delft has an opening for a postdoctoral
fellow in scheduling and combinatorial optimisation. This is a one-year
position as part of an industrially-funded project, with possibility of
extension.

The successful candidate will work closely with faculty members at TU
Delft and our industrial partners to define, model and solve
challenging, realistic scheduling problems, for which application of
existing techniques is unlikely to scale. Working with Dr Emir
Demirović and Dr Neil Yorke-Smith, the candidate will develop novel
algorithmic concepts and demonstrate their value on real problems.

The candidate is expected to conduct international-level research and
publish in top Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Operations
Research or Industrial Engineering venues. A track record of prior
publication in these venues is expected, together with a background in
constraint programming, integer programming, meta-heuristics or other
combinatorial optimisation techniques. Experience in implementing
algorithmic advances in prototype systems is desired.

The ability to communicate and work with a range of stakeholders is
important. Full professional working fluency in English is required.
Knowledge of German is an advantage.

For informal enquiries and more information about this vacancy, please
contact Dr Demirović <E.Dem...@tudelft.nl> or Dr Yorke-Smith
<n.york...@tudelft.nl>.  Please do not send applications by email,
but follow the application procedure.
