Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of
Groningen (NL).
The research topic will be in the area of nonlinear optimization, in
particular nonconvex quadratic optimization and conic optimization
(semidefinite and copositive). The PhD studies will be carried out
under supervision of Mirjam Dur.
The positions will be starting 1 August 2010 or later, and are granted
for four years. Monthly salary will be starting from 2042 Euro before
taxes (roughly 1480 after tax) plus holiday and end-of-year allowance,
according to NWO rules. The positions include some very moderate
teaching duties.
Applicants must hold a MSc degree (or equivalent) in mathematics or a
related field and are expected to enroll in the PhD program of the
Groningen Graduate School of Science. They should be able to
communicate in English, and they should have an interest in
the development of optimization theory and algorithms. Excellent
programming capabilities are a plus.
Applications should include:
* a letter of application
* a detailed curriculum vitae
* a reference letter by their master thesis supervisor (to be sent
directly to us)
and should be directed (preferably by email) to:
Mirjam Dur
University of Groningen
Johann Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science
P.O. Box 407
9700 AK Groningen

For full consideration applications must be received by 1 July 2010,
however late applications will be considered until the positions are
filled.
The two positions are funded by the Netherlands Organisation for
Scientific Research (NWO) through Vici-project no.639.033.907.
