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).
