[DMANET] Two Post Doctoral positions

PLEASE DIFFUSE AMONG INTERESTED PEOPLE

--- APOLOGIES FOR MULTIPLE COPIES ---

In a Franco- Brazilian project, the Universities of Avignon (France),
Federal of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Federal Fluminense
(Niterói,located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and the
Federal of Ceará
(Fortaleza, capital of the state of Ceará, northeastern Brazil) have
two postdoctoral fellowships to be PERFORMED in BRAZIL, until November
2016. We decided to launch a first call for proposals whose
deadline is June 15th, midnight.

Candidates will receive a salary of 59,000 Reais (approximately 20,000
Euros) for the 12 months of their stay. This is a pay large enough to
live in good conditions (the cost of living in Rio is about the same
as in Paris, Niterói being a little cheaper and Fortaleza even more
cheaper) .

The themes covered by these postdocs concern Combinatorial
Optimization (or Integer Programming) in general, and more
particularly the following non exhaustive list of topics:

- Polyhedral Analysis and related algorithms (facet or cut generations),
- Exact Solving procedures based on decomposition methods
- Meta-heuristics,
- Vehicle routing problems ,
- The binary variables quadratic programming or, more generally,
non-linear mixed integer programming,
- Location problems,
- ...

It is thus expected that applicants propose a work plan, in
Combinatorial Optimization, possibly in one of the above themes but
also possibly in other fields. The host university will be chosen with
respect to this proposition.

It should be noted that these post-doctoral positions are open to
candidates of any nationality, to PhDs as well as young Lecturers .


Applications should include :
- A curriculum vitae including a list of publications (in English or
Portuguese)
- A research project of maximum 2 pages (in English or Portuguese)
- 2-3 letters of recommendation (in English or Portuguese)

and should be sent (before June 15 , midnight ) in a unique message to
all the following recipients:
