Recherche Profile
=================
The Computer Science Laboratory of Paris-North University (LIPN) has
been associated with CNRS since january 1992 and is a mixed research
unit since january 2001 (UMR 7030). Research at LIPN is carried out in
its major areas of expertise, in particular Combinatorics, Combinatorial
Optimisation, Algorithmics, Logic, Software, Natural Language, Machine
Learning. The laboratory is structured into five teams: A3, AOC, CALIN,
LCR and RCLN.


Successful candidates will hold a PhD in Operations Research or
Mathematical Programming, and will join the Algorithms and Combinatorial
Optimization (AOC) research team
(http://www-lipn.univ-paris13.fr/AOC/):

The AOC team is organized along three axes: Optimization on graphs,
Mathematical Programming and Parallel and Distributed Computing. These
three research axes are strongly linked together. The first one mainly
deals with optimization problems in graphs with focus on complexity,
Polyedral theory and Approximation.

The second axis of the AOC team (i.e., Mathematical Programming) deals
with the design and analysis (both theoretical and empirical) of
mathematical programming approaches and algorithms. Both exact and
heuristic approaches for solving hard combinatorial optimization
problems are developed. Among these approaches there are: branch and
cut, branch and price, methods of decomposition and relaxation.
Moreover, both MILP (mixed integer linear programming) and MINLP (mixed
integer non linear programming) are studied. The third axis deals with
problems intersecting three strongly linked domains: distributed
middleware and architecture, distributed programming and distributed
algorithms.
An interesting characteristic of the AOC team is that our expertise
covers a broad spectrum of topics either horizontal (from graph theory
to heuristics) or vertical (from algorithm design to detailed
implementation). The theoretical and methodological work is complete by
an industrial transfers.

The second axis is particularly interested in solving hard combinatorial
optimization problems by exact and matheuristic approaches. The "maître
de conférences" recruited will integrate the AOC team LIPN on a
mathematical programming profile. Expertise around reformulation and
decomposition methods will be appreciated.


Key words: combinatorial optimization, discrete applied mathematics,
mathematical programming.
