[DMANET] Senior Assistant Position in Applied Combinatorial Optimization at ETH Zurich

The Combinatorial Optimization Group at ETH Zurich, headed by Prof. Rico
Zenklusen, has an opening for a Senior Assistant in Applied Combinatorial
Optimization.

We are looking for an outstanding candidate with a PhD in Mathematical
Optimization or a related field and strong interests in real-world
mathematical optimization challenges, teaching, student supervision,
knowledge transfer, and coding/software aspects related to modern applied
combinatorial optimization techniques. Apart from a teaching load of about
one course per semester and the supervision of student projects, the
candidate is expected to help strengthen and expand the applied profile of
the group, which complements a strong theoretical research thrust. The
position provides exciting opportunities to contribute and shape existing
applied projects and spawn new ones, typically in collaboration with
industrial partners.

The Combinatorial Optimization Group is part of the Institute for
Operations Research within the Mathematics Department of ETH Zurich. We are
a well-connected research group with strong international visibility. We
offer a very stimulating work environment with a highly competitive salary
and benefits, excellent working conditions and infrastructure in the center
of Zurich, and generous travel support. The position is initially for one
year with the possibility of extension for up to a total of three years.
The starting date is flexible within 2021.

Apart from a PhD in Mathematical Optimization or a related field and strong
interests in both applied mathematical optimization and teaching/mentoring,
we are seeking candidates with strong coding skills, excellent knowledge of
mathematical programming libraries and techniques (in particular for
integer, mixed-integer, and preferably also convex/nonlinear optimization),
a solid theoretical foundation in Mathematical Optimization, excellent
academic qualifications, and strong communication skills.

To apply, please upload your application documents, including a cover
letter, cv, list of publications, teaching statement, and names and contact
information of at least 3 references through our online application portal:
https://www.jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_ethz_ZMA8tlttfCLBMuX820. To ensure
full consideration, please send your application before November 30, 2020.
Late applications may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
