LSE's Department of Mathematics is looking to appoint a Research Officer to contribute to the EPSRC New Investigator Award "New perspectives towards Woodall's conjecture and the Generalised Berge-Fulkerson conjecture", working with Principal Investigator Dr Ahmad Abdi. The project will take an optimisation-inspired approach towards the conjectures and related problems. The anticipated start date is 2 October 2023, but earlier or later start dates may be possible. More information about the scope of the project and the research interests of the PI can be found on the webpages https://ahmadabdi.com<https://ahmadabdi.com/> and https://ahmadabdi.com/NIA.html.
The successful applicant will hold (or be near completion of) a PhD in a discipline relevant to mathematical optimisation, such as Mathematics, Computer Science, or Operations Research by post start date. They will demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and experience in the theoretical understanding of fundamental problems in combinatorial optimisation, and its connections to other areas such as graph theory, integer programming, and submodular optimisation. They will show evidence of developing a body of good quality publications, in well-recognised peer reviewed outlets, through independent original research.
For the official job posting, and how to apply, please visit this webpage<https://jobs.lse.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/1231/0/393331/15539/research-officer-in-mathematical-optimisation>.
