Post 27 PR 0182
================
Profile : Computer Science
LIPN, Institut Galilée, Université Paris 13

Teaching Profile
================
Intitut Galilée is an internal institute of Paris 13 University. The
successful
candidate will teach computer science at both the graduate and
undergraduate levels.


Recherche Profile
=================
The Computer Science lab of the Paris-Nord University (L.I.P.N.) is
associated to the
CNRS (UMR 7030). The LIPN researches deal with automatisation around
the strong axes of
Combinatorics, Combinatorial Optimization, Fundamental Computer
Science and Artificial
Intelligence. These works are especially based on competences in
Algorithmics, Logic,
Natural Language, and Machine Learning.

Successful candidates will hold a PhD in computer science
(Algorithmic, Operations
Research, Machine Learning), and will join one of the research teams :

Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization

The Combinatorial Optimization group (OC) of the AOC team (Algorithms
and Combinatorial Optimization) undertakes both fundamental theoretical
researches and industrial applications in Integer Programming and
Combinatorial Optimization. It consists today of a professor emeritus,
two full professors and six associate professors. The group handles the
traditional and strongly complementary approaches of Combinatorial
Optimization which are: mathematical programming, complexity, modeling,
graph theory, exact methods and metaheuristics. Research is articulated
around three axes:
- the definition of innovative solution methods in mathematical
programming (re-optimization, reformulation);
- the study of structural properties of the problems (decompositions
and relaxations, polyedral structure, approximation algorithms);
- the developement of exact and approximate methods for solving
real-life problems (as for example: planning and scheduling of
resources, logistics and vehicles routing, multimodal transport, design
of networks).

The group has a particular expertise in the development of
mathematical programming methods for the solution of very large scale
problems. More recently, it has developed original research axes within
the framework of collaborations with other fields such as data mining
and mathematics.


Key words: combinatorial optimization, discrete applied mathematics,
integer programming, graph theory, polyhedral approaches,
approximation, robustness.
