---------------------------------------------------------------- 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@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).
