The Department of Mathematics and Mathematical statistics and UMIT
Research Lab at Umeå University is offering a postdoctoral scholarship
within the project "Algorithms For Real-World Problems from Operations
Research Based on the Extended Theory of Tolerances".
The term tolerance has been introduced by Goldengorin and Sierksma in
2003 and has, since then, attracted much attention, theoretical as well
as within applications to combinatorial optimization problems, in
particular for the Traveling Salesman Problem. Recently, an extended
version of this theory has been created. The applicant is expected to
make use of this new theory and apply it to real-world problems like the
Shortest Path Problem, the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, and the
Strip-Road Network Problem.
The application should have a good knowledge in discrete optimization
and operations research and
good programming skills, for example in the area of linear programming.
The fellow should have the ability to communicate in English and work in
an interdisciplinary environment.
The application should include a short description of your research
interests and why you are interested in the scholarship, a CV, a
publication list, copies of exam certificates, the PhD thesis, and
contact information of at least 2 references. The application should be
written in Swedish or, preferably, English and should be submitted
either on paper in 2 copies or electronically in PDF format.
For more information, please contact Associate Professor Gerold Jäger,
gerold.jaeger@math.umu.se, +46-(0)90-786 61 41 or Assistant Professor
Eddie Wadbro, eddiew@cs.umu.se.
