[DMANET] Two funded PhD studentships in operations research at Inria Bordeaux, France

Dear colleagues.

The mathematical programming team of Inria Bordeaux invites applications
for two funded PhD studentships.

The first PhD studentship is funded by Université de Bordeaux. It is an
academical subject inspired from a real-life problem. The objective is
to propose integer programming methods for solving very large scale
clustering problems. The methods will be adapted for the robust case in
a second step.

The second PhD studentship is funded by Saint Gobain S.A., a French
multinational corporation. The objective of the thesis is to propose new
mathematical programming based methods for solving hard cutting problems.

Both PhD students will be located at Inria Bordeaux. Speaking French is
absolutely not mandatory. English is the working language in the team.

Both PhD thesis will lie in the scientific scope of the RealOpt project,
led by François Vanderbeck. The aim of Inria RealOpt team is to develop
tight formulations for combinatorial problems by combining the latest
reformulation techniques, such as Lagrangian and polyhedral approaches,
and graph theoretics tools. Through industrial partnerships, the team
targets large scale problems.
