concern the development of new models, properties and original solution
methods for the routing of a fleet of hybrid/autonomous vehicles.
The models considered during the thesis will combine the realization of
some transportation services with the vehicles (urban distribution,
public transportation within a dedicated site like an industrial site or
an airport…) and the management of energy production/recharging
operations for the vehicles. It will give rise to original
production-routing problems that will be investigated both theoretically
and empirically.
The thesis wil be supervised by Prof. Alain Quilliot (LIMOS) and Prof.
Dominique Feillet (Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne and LIMOS). The PhD
student will preferably be located at the Campus Provence of Ecole des
Mines de Saint-Etienne in Gardanne (south of France, near
Aix-en-Provence and Marseille), but a location in Clermont-Ferrand is
also possible.
The phD will be conducted in collaboration with Prof. Claudia Archetti
(Univ. of Brescia, Italy). Short stays in Italy should be envisaged.
The position is for three years starting October or November 2018 (exact
date is negotiable).
Applicants must have a Master Degree (or equivalent) in Computer
Sciences, Applied Mathematics or any related discipline. Applicants
should demonstrate good programming skills and a good knowledge in
solution methods for combinatorial optimization (integer programming,
metaheuristics). Experience in vehicle routing optimization would be
appreciated.
Please send your application electronically (preferably as a single pdf
file) including a detailed curriculum vitae and examination results,
plus, if available, a list of reference letters, the Master thesis, and
copies of diploma, to:
Alain Quilliot (alain.quilliot@isima.fr) and Dominique Feillet
(feillet@emse.fr)
The deadline for application is September 15, 2018. However, excellent
candidates will be selected on a first-come basis, possibly before the
deadline. It is thus recommended to apply as early as possible.
For further questions regarding the position or details on the research
project, please contact Alain Quilliot or Dominique Feillet.
