The Department of Management Engineering invites applications for a position as Postdoc in Operations Research with a focus on Container Terminal Optimizaiton.
The Department is looking for a flexible and enthusiastic candidate, who is willing to be a part of a pilot research project on how operation research techniques can be used to boost collaboration between container carriers and container terminals. We are interested in optimizing the ship handling operations by exploiting synergies between the container vessel stowage plan and the scheduling of the cranes in a container terminal. The project is to be run in collaboration with APM Terminals in Aarhus, which will be providing data and details about the current planning practices.
The postdoc appointment is of the total of 1 year from the starting date. Being a pilot project, the candidate will also have the possibility of participating on the writing of the next funding application, and eventually on the execution of the defined project.
Responsibilities and tasks
-------------------------------------
The applicant will be responsible of the development of optimisation models and/or algorithms for the ship loading problem. An integrated container to transport vehicle assignment and scheduling problem.
There will be possibilities to contribute with lectures to the teaching within the area.
Qualifications
-------------------------------------
Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent. A good knowledge of operations research techniques including: mathematical modelling, heuristics, metaheuristics and matheuristics. The applicant should also be able to program in an efficient programming language such as Java or C++.
The research team has a Linux server available for performing computational experiments, thus knowledge of the Linux environment would be a plus but not a requirement.
