Bilevel Programming Algorithms: Theory and Applications
The Postdoctoral Researcher will work mainly with Prof. Vyacheslav Kalashnikov and his research team, and he/she will be involved in the full-time investigation, which principal emphasis will be the study and development of efficient algorithms of solution to bilevel programming problems with applications to logistics, manufacture, telecommunications, etc.
This is a one year position with a starting date of June 01, 2015 (negotiable), with possible extension for 2 years.
REQUISITES
- A PhD degree (obtained not earlier than 3 years ago from a high-ranked university) in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Computing, or related areas. Research experience confirmed by publications in international journals indexed in ISI (Web of Science) and/or Scopus is an advantage. A successful candidate will have experience in at least one programming language (e.g., C/C++, CPLEX, MAPLE, MATLAB), in online algorithms or approximation algorithms.
- Education/Research interests focused on one or more of the following areas: Mathematical Programming, Integer Programming, Approximate Optimization Methods (Branch-and-Cut, Branch-and-Price, Branch-and-Bound algorithms), heuristic or meta-heuristic methods, Stochastic Optimization, Multi-Objective Optimization.
- Fluency in English is required (both writing and communication skills).
REMUNERATIONS
The base salary is in the range of USD 2,200 – 3,300 per month (depending upon the candidate's experience and academic data). Apart from that, a 1-month-salary bonus at the end of the year, vacations bonuses, a saving fund membership, discount allowances, and IMSS social security premiums are provided, which amounts an additional income of approximately 20% of the base salary.
