The applicant should have a profound knowledge and interest in Discrete
and Combinatorial Optimization as well as Integer Programming. Also
required are good programming skills (preferably C++) as well as
knowledge in the design of efficient algorithms. Acquaintance with
Geographical Information Systems would be helpful.
The position focuses on research in the following subjects:
- enhancements of classical territory design models to open up a broader
range of practical problems
- applications of territory design models in OR and interdisciplinary
research areas
- development of an algorithmic library with interfaces to geographical
information systems
The university strives to increase the number of women in research and
teaching and would like to explicitly encourage women to apply for this
position. Female applicants will be given preference when qualifications
and suitability are equal or similar.
The university supports the employment of handicapped people. Hence,
handicapped applicants will be employed preferentially if they are
