Risk Management or Logistics with Applied Optimization.

At UmeE5 University, a Master of Science Program in Industrial
Engineering and Management has recently been launched. A theme of the
program is modelling, simulation, controlling, optimization, management
and risk management of flows and business processes. Two specializations
of the program are risk management and logistics with optimization. The
applicant for this position is supposed to strengthen the research
profile of the program by pursuing research in an area of mathematics or
mathematical statistics that is relevant for the program. Examples of
such areas include mathematical modelling, risk management, stochastic
processes, stochastic differential equations and their applications,
financial mathematics, logistics, optimization, combinatorial
optimization, graph theory, queue theory, reliability theory and control
theory. Technological application areas include, e.g., energy systems,
resource planning, planning of traffic and transportation, manufacturing
systems and forest production.

The ideal candidate:
- should hold a PhD in either mathematics or mathematical statistics
or in a related field
- should have proved able to pursue high quality research within an
area of the mathematical sciences that is relevant for the program in
industrial engineering and management
- should have demonstrated the importance of his/her research in a
branch of industry that is relevant for the program in industrial
engineering and management.
