So, you may want to make sure that you and your students present in an invited session. I can certainly arrange for that. The deadline to add a session chair in the system is March 16th. So, please let me know before then. Here is a list of the sessions that we have within our SOLA cluster so far: 1. Continuous Location I Zvi Drezner 2. Continuous Location II Pawel Kalczynski 3. Location Models Oded Berman & Dmitry Krass 4. Location applications in the context of humanitarian logistics Rajan Batta (joint session with Public Sector OR) 5. Random stow strategies in warehousing John G. Carlsson (joint session with TSL/Facility Logistics) 6. Location Models for Social Good Kayse Maass (joint session with Public Sector OR) 7.

(Title to be determined) Sibel Alumur Alev If you want to present in any of the above sessions, you may contact the session organizer(s) directly to ask if there is any space. If not, please let me know and I can still arrange for you to present in a SOLA sponsored session. We have quite a good number of sessions already. I seek help from all Location researchers for their participation so that we have well-attended sessions and a productive meeting!

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.
