[DMANET] PhD and postdoctoral positions linked to an ERC project at the University of Málaga, Spain

Dear Colleagues,

Apologies for possible cross-posting.

The research group OASYS (Optimization and Analytics for Sustainable EnergY
Systems) at the University of Málaga (Málaga, Spain) is currently looking
for talented and entrepreneurial candidates to fill a PhD position and a
postdoctoral position on the topic "Advanced Analytics to Empower the Small
Flexible Prosumption of Electricity."

Both positions are linked to an Excellent Science project awarded by the
European Research Council through an ERC Starting Grant.

The PhD candidate must possess a master degree in computer science,
control/electrical engineering, applied mathematics and/or statistics,
engineering, or equivalent academic qualifications. Preference will be given
to candidates with skills in statistical and mathematical modelling, big
data management techniques, optimization and software development. Knowledge
of data-handling and programming software (Python, R, Matlab, etc.) is an
advantage. Furthermore, good command of the English language (orally and in
writing) is clearly a plus.

The Postdoctoral Researcher is expected to possess a PhD or equivalent,
preferably in operations research, control engineering, computer science,
mathematics, or statistics. Preference will be given to candidates with a
strong background in optimization theory and mathematical programming. The
ability to code and solve large-scale optimization problems using
programming languages like Python and optimization solvers like Cplex on
High-Performance Computing Facilities is clearly an advantage. Excellent
command of the English language, both orally and in writing is required.

The appointments involve a competitive salary, healthcare and social
security insurance.

Detailed information on the positions we are offering and on the application
procedure can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/jnmmgo/recruitment

Applications should be received no later than December 3, 2017.

I would appreciate it very much if you could spread the link to the
positions within your network.
