applications for a full-time
PhD position in Discrete Optimization
at the Department of Mathematics to be filled by 01 March 2018 for an
initial period of three years. The successfull applicant will work in a
project on the
Integrated Optimization of International Transportation Networks
in cooperation with DB Cargo Polska, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG.
The focus of the project will be the development of model hierarchies
and mixed-integer optimization methods for the optimal allocation of
resources in railway transport (staff, rolling stock, ...), especially
in the context of border-crossing transport services. The mathematical
work in this project will focus on structural analysis of this problem,
drawing e.g. upon polyhedral analysis and graph theory, as well as the
treatment of data uncertainties, which will require the development of
robust or stochastic optimization approaches. The PhD candidate will
spend secondments for technical and scientific training at DB Cargo
Polska in Zabrze, Poland. The PhD degree will be awarded by FAU
Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.
Applicants should have completed their studies at master level in a
program with strong mathematical background in discrete optimization. We
seek excellent open-minded and team-spirited PhD candidates who will get
unique international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral training in
scientific and transferable skills by distinguished leaders from
academia and industry.
This position is offered as part of the European Industrial Doctorate
(EID) training network ROMSOC (Reduced Order Modelling, Simulation and
Optimization of Coupled systems) within the Marie Skłodowska Curie
Actions of the Horizon 2020 programme (see
https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/257318 for further information).
Please note that according to the EU mobility rule governing this kind
of training network, we can only consider applicants who have not lived
or worked in Germany for more than 12 months during the last 3 years.
