Mathematics ITWM in Kaiserslautern, Germany offers
a PhD position in the field of harvesting logistics optimization.
The problems to address include the optimal assignment and scheduling of
agricultural machines and staff. Therefore an integrated view on well-known
discrete optimization problems such as routing, scheduling, packing and
location problems is needed.
The core competence of the Department of Optimization is to develop
individual solutions for planning and decision problems in production,
logistics, engineering sciences and life sciences in close cooperation
with researchers and customers from industry. The methodology is based
on the coupling of simulation, optimization and decision support.
Applicants should have completed their University Studies in
Mathematics, Computer Science or Operations Research and be interested in
Discrete mathematics. It is mandatory for applicants to either already have
good programming skills or be motivated to acquire them.
Phd candidates will receive a scholarship according to the rules of the
German Research Foundation DFG.
