PostDoc Position in Optimization in Edinburgh
by KALCSICS Joerg 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

Dear all, this time it is, for once, not about location. Sergio and I are offering a 2-year postdoctoral position and we are looking for candidates with a strong background in combinatorial optimization and integer programming (see below for more details). We would appreciate if you could also forward this announcement to researchers of whom you think that they might be interested in this position. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or need more information. We are looking forward to your applications. Cheers, Joerg. P.S.: If you always wanted to spend some time in beautiful and sunny Scotland, this is your chance ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Postdoctoral Research Associate in Optimization at the School of Mathematics, Edinburgh University Salary: 31,656 to 37,768 GBP (U07 level) For more information, see: https://www.vacancies.ed.ac.uk/pls/corehrrecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobs… Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoctoral position in the area of optimization with a particular focus on practical methods used in financial mathematics. A successful candidate will join a team of four mathematicians: Sergio García Quiles, Jacek Gondzio, Joerg Kalcsics and Sotirios Sabanis who bridge between the Edinburgh Research Group in Optimization http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/ERGO/ and the Probability Group http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/research/psa. The project is funded by the EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account and Standard Life Investments http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/ and initially will involve research in the area of optimization-based approaches for risk concentration measurement. Its first step will involve using a tailored branch-and-bound procedure to solve an optimization problem which corresponds to identifying independent factors in a set of highly correlated assets. Applicants will have completed a PhD in Optimization, or a related field of computational mathematics, and will demonstrate outstanding research potential. An ideal candidate will have a documented expertise and research record in combinatorial optimization techniques, provable understanding of probability and financial mathematics, and will demonstrate good programming skills. Prior experience in development of efficient optimization techniques such as tailored branch-and-bound and branch-and-cut algorithms would be an advantage. Application Procedure: All applicants should apply online. Please upload a CV and a research statement under optional documents and arrange for at least two referees to send letters of recommendation directly to hr(a)maths.ed.ac.uk<mailto:hr@maths.ed.ac.uk> by the closing date. The closing date is 5pm GMT on 23 March 2015. We anticipate interviews will be held on 28-29 April.

Its goal is to present, in a unified way, the current theory together with the more recent algorithms designed to address some families of problems; we will also introduce the participants to the use of specific solvers devoted to formulate and to solve instances of these problems. The lecturers will start with basic concepts, in order to be interesting for beginners, finalizing discussing advanced topics of this emerging area of mathematical optimization. This school is intended for PhD students and young researchers (a maximum of 30) who wish to advance knowledge or to gain expertise in this specific field. MSRI and the local organizers will select a number of candidates (between 20-25) that will receive a grant to support their expenses to attend the school. The registration deadline is*February 20th, 2016.* The program activities is organized in two lectures taught in the mornings _Lectures:_ The Theory of Mixed Integer Non-linear Programming. (Robert Weismantel, ETH Zurich, Switzerland.) Modeling aspects and applications of Mixed Integer Non-linear programming. (Jeff Linderoth, University of Wisconsin-Madisson, USA.) Problem solving and applications sessions will be organized during the afternoon, and led by the TAs. These sessions will be devoted to working on problem sets, on real life applications, and on various projects developed by the students. Lab sessions with available MINLP solvers will also be included. A cornerstone of the program is having students presentations about basic topics in the field. This allows students, even those with a more limited background, to work with source materials, and to practice lecturing about what they learn. We will ask students to prepare short (25-30 minute) talks on research papers of their choice. We will guide them in the preparation of their talk, as well as provide constructive criticisms of their presentation. The Course will be held at IMUS, the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Seville, from June 20th till July 1st, 2016 (http://www.imus.us.es/IMUS-MSRI2016/es/ ) and will be co-organized by the MSRI (Berkeley), the IMUS Universidad de Sevilla and it is partially supported by EURO.

LAND - TRANSLOG III. New deadline NOV. 25, 2015
by Olivier Péton 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Dear locators, Here is a message from Vladimir Marianov : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Friends, The LAND-TRANSLOG III we are organizing in Chile, has a new deadline (we had some troubles with our database). I would very much appreciate if you could post this new CFP. Thanks a lot! Vlad Vladimir Marianov Professor Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile NEW DEADLINE NOVEMBER 25, 2015 Call for Abstracts * Due to technical issues related to our mailing system: New deadline date for abstracts. LAND – TRANSLOG III Joint Workshop on Location and Network Design – Transportation and Logistic Santa Cruz, Chile. March 13 – 17, 2016 www.land-translog.cl <http://www.land-translog.cl/> The Complex Engineering Systems Institute (ISCI) has the pleasure to announce the Workshop LAND – TRANSLOG III, a special joint workshop, which is a continuation of a series of previous successful events that were held in 2009 and 2011 in Chile, and invites you to submit an abstract. The goal of the first LAND workshop, held in March 2009, was to gather together researchers in the fields of Location and Network Design. In parallel, the TRANSLOG Workshop, organized in December 2009, focused on Transportation and Logistics. However, it included topics that overlapped with those in the LAND Workshop, and attracted people that would feel comfortable attending both workshops. In December 2011 we took one more step in promoting interaction and exchange of ideas among people coming from the two fields, and organized the joint event LAND-TRANSLOG II, which was very successful in exploring common interests and learning how researchers from other fields address the same or similar problems. In 2013, our group also organized the last TRISTAN Conference in the North of Chile. After that effort, and with the intention of keeping continuity in this interaction of very interesting and fruitful research topics, we decided to organize a new version of the LAND – TRANSLOG series, to be held in the Hotel Santa Cruz Plaza, in the beautiful town of Santa Cruz-Chile, in March 13 – 17 next year. Presentations are encouraged focusing on theory, modeling or applications of Location and Network Design, including but not limited to Health, Energy, Telecommunications, Retail, Natural Resources, Environment, etc.; presentations dealing with methodology, including exact methods, heuristics and simulation are also welcome. From the transport and logistics side, the workshop will include topics spanning classic problems in transportation and logistics, planning and control strategies, fleet management, routing, timetabling and vehicle scheduling, crew scheduling, real-time optimization of operational schemes, among other areas of interest. Confirmed Speakers - Richard Church, University of California-Santa Barbara - Leandro Coelho, Université Laval, Quebec - Michel Gendreau, École Polythecnique de Montréal - Abilio Lucena, Universidad Federal do Rio de Janeiro - Vladimir Marianov, Pontifica Universidad Católica de Chile - Stefan Nickel, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology - George Nemhauser, Georgia Institute of Technology - Mikael Ronqvist, Université Laval, Quebec - Vedat Verter, McGill University, Montréal Important Dates & General Information - Abstract submission: November 25th, 2015 - Maximum abstract length: 500 words - Acceptance date: November 25th, 2015 - Workshop: March 13-17, 2015 - Early Registration: January 10th, 2015 - Venue: Hotel Santa Cruz Plaza, Santa Cruz, Chile - Abstract submission and more information: www.land-translog.cl <http://www.land-translog.cl> <http://www.isci.cl/language/es/> -- _
