The Chair of Operations Research at RWTH Aachen University, Germany,
invites applications for

1 POST-DOC POSITION IN MATHEMATICAL OPTIMIZATION (3 yrs)

We are an interdisciplinary group with research and teaching interests
in operations research, discrete mathematics, and theoretical computer
science. Welcomed topics are integer programming, combinatorial
optimization, algorithm engineering, machine learning, and any other
methodological field of operations research. Basic research goes hand
in hand with practical applications.


The successful candidate will lead the integer programming team,
currently consisting of four scientific staff and several student
assistants. The team's current core project is the development of the
GCG solver, based on the SCIP framework. You guide PhD students, both
within the team and the group at large. Your research with team
members and external parties meet international top-tier standards.
You teach in your own area of specialization and within the group's
standard teaching program. We expect you to pursue an academic career
and we fully support you in this endeavour.


You hold (or are close to the completion of) an excellent Ph.D. in
discrete mathematics, computer science, operations research, or a
related discipline. You have a profound knowledge in (computational)
mathematical optimization in theory and practice. Ideally, you combine
great mathematical talent with the ability to lead industry-driven
projects. We expect a documentation in the form of scientific
publications and successful projects. Solid implementation skills are
a must. We are happy about your experience with the SCIP framework. We
look forward to your ambition, persistence, creativity, and team
spirit. It is helpful if you are already experienced in leading a
small team and applying for third party funding.
