Constraint Technologies <http://www.constrainttec.com/> (CTI) is currently
looking for postdoctorate or experienced researchers to work in our
Research group. We have a number of projects operating in association
with the CTI-Monash Centre for Optimisation in Travel, Transport and
Logistics <http://www.infotech.monash.edu.au/research/centres/cti/>, and
we would expect that the successful applicant(s) would also be
collaborating with researchers at Monash University. Publication and
presentation at conferences are encouraged subject to protection of
trade secrets.

The ideal applicant would have:
- A PhD or industry experience in an area related to Operations Research.
- Good knowledge of Mathematical Programming optimization techniques.
- Broad knowledge of other optimization techniques and heuristics.
- Experience, aptitude or interest in solving transport related problems
in the rail and airline sectors such as online schedule recovery
optimisation, training resource planning and schedule optimisation.
- Excellent computer programming skills.
- Good written and oral English communication skills.

CTI offers the attractive opportunity of a permanent job working in the
field of Operations Research while collaborating with a University. In
a similar concept to Google's "20-percent time", we encourage researchers
to spend a portion of their time working on a project that they are
passionate about.

CTI welcomes applications from within and outside Australia.

Applicants are invited to submit their resume, a covering letter and the
names of two referees to hiring@contrainttec.com.
