[DMANET] Postdoctoral position at Universté Libre de Bruxelles

*** Sorry for cross-postings ***

A postdoctoral research position is available in the group "Graphs and
Mathematical Optimization" (GMO) of the Computer Science Department of
Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), in Belgium.

The position is part of the Inter-university Attraction Pole «COMEX:
Combinatorial Optimization: Metaheuristics and Exact methods», due to
start in October 2012.

The project is coordinated by Bernard Fortz (ULB) and involves 8
Belgian teams and 2 international partners working in the field of
combinatorial optimization.

The main research directions followed in the project are:

- Study and modeling of combinatorial optimization problems;
- Advancements in algorithmic techniques;
- Implementation of solution methods for large-scale, practically
relevant problems.

The focus in the GMO group will be on the development of exact methods
for applications in telecommunications network design, bio-informatics
and pricing problems.

The main tasks of the postdoc, in addition to perform research linked
with the project objectives, will be to coordinate the interactions
between the different teams and help supervising the PhD students
working on the project in the GMO group.

The position is available for a 2-year period, renewable once.
