PhD student/postdoc position in Computational Mathematics/Applied Discrete Optimization, Uni Kassel
==========================================

The Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Kassel
invites applications for a
PhD student/postdoc position in Computational Mathematics/Applied Discrete Optimization
- fixed-term full-time research assistant (100% E13 TV-H) -
for 3 years starting October 1, 2013.

The position is associated with the BMBF funded project "VINO – Virtual Network Optimization: Model aggregation for discrete time and event based models". The position is a fixed-term position for the duration of the above project. A prolongation is intended.

We are looking for a PhD student or postdoc who is or wishes to specialize in computational and applied discrete optimization. The successful candidate will participate in the development and the implementation of mathematical models and algorithms to solve difficult and large-scale optimization problems arising in the planning of telecommunication and other networks.

The position will be located in the newly created group for "Computational Mathematics/Applied Discrete Optimization" at the University of Kassel. The group's research focus is on combinatorial optimization, integer programming, network optimization, and scheduling and their application in practice.

Candidates must hold a diploma/master's degree in mathematics or computer science and must have very good knowledge in discrete optimization, in particular in integer programming, combinatorial optimization, and graph algorithms. Good command of C++ or an equivalent programming language is required. Knowledge in telecommunication network modeling and optimization is desirable.

Applicants should send their application containing:
- cover and motivation letter, with the job reference number 21068624
- curriculum vitae
- copies of diplomas
- summary of Diploma/masters thesis (max. 3 pages in English or German)
