Ph.D. student position
in the area of Discrete Optimization
at RWTH Aachen University (Lehrstuhl II für Mathematik, Prof. Arie Koster).
About the Research Group
The discrete optimization group at RWTH Aachen University, headed by
Professor Arie Koster, develops novel mathematical methods for the
application of mixed-integer (non-)linear optimization, robust
optimization, and algorithmic graph theory to actual application fields
like the design of communication networks or the planning of
decentralized energy systems.
About the position
A position for a PhD student is available, initially for 18 months, from
April 2016 (a later starting date is negotiable). The position is
full-time and paid according at TV-L 13 level.
Topic of research will be in a branch of discrete optimization and/or
its application, e.g., algorithmic graph theory, integer linear
programming, or robust optimization. The succesful candidate will
contribute to the group's teaching obligations, both regarding
elementary courses in mathematics for engineers and optimization courses
for mathematicians at bachelor and master level. Participation in
3rd-party funded projects is welcomed.
About you
The candidate should have (or expect to have shortly) an excellent
master degree in mathematics with solid knowledge in the area of
discrete optimization. Profound computer programming skills (C++) as
well as experience with modelling languages (ampl, GAMS) are desirable.
Candidates with experience as student teaching assistant have an added
value.
