postdoctoral position in optimization
by Coralia Cartis 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

I would be grateful if you could post the below advert. With many thanks Coralia ----------------------- Dr Coralia Cartis Associate Professor in Numerical Optimization Mathematical Institute and Balliol College University of Oxford http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/cartis ---------------------------------------------------------------- UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD MATHEMATICAL INSTITUTE Postdoctoral Research Associate in Optimisation Grade 7: Salary £30,738 - £37,768 p.a. We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate, funded by Emirates under the agreement for the Oxford-Emirates Data Science Lab, to work with Professors Raphael Hauser, Coralia Cartis and Jared Tanner at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a three-year fixed term position and is available from 11th March 2016 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The appointee will spend approximately 50% of their time working on Emirates-focused revenue management research, while the remaining 50% will be spent on personal research in collaboration with the above named faculty members. There is also a requirement to teach up to four sets of undergraduate or graduate classes per year, determined by the demand for classes in specific areas. The Emirates driven part of the research will focus on time-dependent seat pricing problems initially, and more general inference, forecasting, and optimisation challenges relevant to the commercial aviation sector. The remaining 50% of the appointee’s time will be focused on collaborative research within the Numerical Analysis Group of the Oxford Mathematical Institute, where the post is based. While there is some flexibility in the choice of research topic, it is expected that it aligns with the research interests of Professors Hauser, Cartis and Tanner, in particular on optimisation methods for big data problems. The focus will be on the theoretical analysis and computational implementation of algorithms rather than on the design of heuristics. Applicants should have a PhD in mathematics, operations research, statistics or a related area, awarded or submitted at the time of taking up the position, a strong record in research and publications commensurate with their career stage, as well as an excellent background in more than one area relevant to the project focus. Please direct informal enquiries to cartis, hauser(a)maths.ox.ac.uk Applicants should read the job description before writing their application. You will be required to upload a letter setting out how you meet the selection criteria, a curriculum vitae including full list of publications, a statement of research interests and the contact details of two referees as part of your online application. (NOTE: Applicants are responsible for contacting their referees and making sure that their letters are received by the closing date). Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. To apply for this post and for further details, including the job description and selection criteria, please click on the link below https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobs… Only applications received before 12:00 noon UK time on Friday 11th March 2016 can be considered. --------------------------------------------------------------

EURO 2016 Stream on Discrete Optimization under Uncertainty
by Arie M.C.A. Koster 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

*** Inivitation to submit an abstract at EURO 2016 *** At EURO 2016 - the 28th European Conference on Operational Research - I am organizing a stream on Discrete Optimization under Uncertainty In recent years, optimization under uncertainty, or robust optimization, is an ermerging field of research within the OR community. In particular for discrete optimization problems, it is worth to investigate different robustness concepts, uncertainty sets, and algorithmic ideas for both classical combinatorial optimization problems and novel applications. In this stream, it is intended to have sessions focussing on these developments, providing a forum of knowledge exchange for those working in the field and those interested in entering this exciting research area. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, - theory of robust integer programming - complexity results for classical discrete optimization problems w.r.t. novel uncertainty sets - robustness concepts like light robustness, recoverable robustness, etc. - two-stage robustness - applications of robust optimization, e.g., network design or energy system planning If you would like to contribute to this stream by submitting an abstract for oral presentation, please use submission code d9983646 at https://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro28/ or contact me by email to koster(a)math2.rwth-aachen.de EURO 2016 ( http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/ ) is organized July 3-6, 2016 in Poznan (Poland).
