Dear locators, The EURO 2018 conference will be held in Valencia, Spain (8-11 july 2018). http://euro2018valencia.com/ One stream dedicated to "Locational Analysis and Optimization"will be managed by the EWGLA coordination board. We strongly encourage the members of the EWGLA community to participate in this conference and to submit a scientific contribution. It will be an opportunity to gather people involved in locational analysis and to improve visibility of our Euro Working Group.

Master Internship + PhD position on Facility Location and Finance at IMT Atlantique, Nantes
by Olivier Péton 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Dear Locators, IMT ATLANTIQUE (Nantes, France) has one open position for a master's degree internship followed by a PhD thesis in facility location, as part of the FILEAS FOG research project, funded by the ANR. The ANR FILEAS FOG project aims to integrate the financial dimension in the optimization of supply chains. This project involves two research teams from research laboratories in Nantes and Rennes. The LS2N (Laboratory of Digital Sciences of Nantes) is renowned for its expertise in operational research, computer science and industrial engineering. The CREM (Research Center in Economics and Management) has expertise in finance. The internship is supervised by two LS2N researchers and a CREM researcher. *TOPIC * This research concerns facility location problems including a financial dimension. The goal of the internship is to introduce financial components in one or more facility location models selected in the scientific literature, and to analyze their impact. As a first step, the challenge will be to identify relevant financial tools and indicators. After a review of the literature, the trainee will identify one or more theoretical models (deterministic with single objective) to extend. This (or these) model(s) will be solved to optimality using a state-of-the-art solver. The second part of the internship will consist in implementing a heuristic method to solve the previously developed model(s). As a result of this work, it will be possible to analyze how the introduction of financial dimension into supply chain network design models modifies the location decisions, either territorially or timewis. The PhD research will extend the internship work in several directions (finer modeling, stochastic/multi-objective optimization, realworld case studies) etc. REQUIRED SKILLS :The recruited person must be a master’s student (or equivalent) or hold a master in operations research or industrial engineering, with a strong background in computer science (coding preferably in java or C ++). Skills in finance will be appreciated but are not mandatory. Good communication skills either in English or French (French language is not mandatory). *FURTHER INFORMATION* - 4to 6 month internship starting in spring 2018 (500€/month) *- *36 month PhD starting in automn 2018 (around 1600€/month) -Position based in Nantes, France *HOW **TO APPLY* Send a CV, a detailed cover letter, and references (master's degree grades, name of 2 or 3 persons who can recommend you) to Nathalie BOSTEL - nathalie.bostel(a)univ-nantes.fr Vincent HOVELAQUE - vincent.hovelaque(a)univ-rennes1.fr Olivier PETON - olivier.peton(a)imt-atlantique.fr Candidates who already hold a master's degree may directly apply for the PhD position. There is no formal deadline for applying. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
