joint research and training program of the University of Vienna, TU
Wien, IST Austria and Vienna University of Economics and Business funded
by the Austrian Science Funds (FWF). Its main goal is to give PhD
candidates a comprehensive training in different areas of optimization
with special emphasis on algorithmic and numeric aspects. It fosters
scientific collaboration between the PhD students and their advisors
representing a broad spectrum of topics and areas in the field of
optimization.
The VGSCO currently announces 9 PhD positions each associated with one
of the participating institutions, in the following areas:
1. Large-Scale Optimization for Machine Learning (IST Austria,
Supervisor: Dan Alistarh)
2. Conic Relaxations and Fast Primal Methods for MINLP (University of
Vienna, Supervisor: Immanuel Bomze)
3. Numerical Algorithms for Nonsmooth Optimization (University of
Vienna, Supervisor: Radu Ioan Boț)
4. Efficient Combinatorial Optimization Algorithms (University of
Vienna, Supervisor: Monika Henzinger)
5. Complexity of Discrete Optimization (IST Austria, Supervisor:
Vladimir Kolmogorov)
6. Automated Algorithm Selection and Configuration (TU Wien, Supervisor:
Nysret Musliu)
7. Optimization Methods in Data Science, with Applications to Molecular
Chemistry (University of Vienna, Supervisor: Arnold Neumaier)
8. Hybrid Methods for Combinatorial Optimization (TU Wien, Supervisor:
Günther Raidl)
9. Multivariate Dynamic Programming and Mathematical Finance (Vienna
University of Economics and Business, Supervisor: Birgit Rudloff)
The successful candidates will become members of the Vienna Graduate
School on Computational Optimization and must actively contribute to its
activities. The VGSCO offers lecture series given by international
experts in optimization related fields, organizes research seminars,
retreats, soft skills courses, scientific workshops, and social events,
provides travel grants, and supports research stays abroad. The duration
of the employment is of 3 years with possibility of extension. The
planned start of the positions is autumn 2020. Female candidates are
encouraged to apply.
