[DMANET] PhD Positions in Discrete Optimization and Data Analysis at King's College London

Two PhD positions are available:

- A PhD studentship on "Optimization Models and Algorithms for Resource
Allocation Problems with Machine Learning Predictions" is currently
available to be funded by the Faculty of Natural and Mathematical Sciences
at King's College London:
https://www.kcl.ac.uk/informatics/postgraduate/research-degrees.

- A PhD studentship on "Data-Driven and Explainable Discrete Optimization
for Effective Transportation in Healthcare" is currently available to be
funded by the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted
Artificial Intelligence:
https://safeandtrustedai.org/project/data-driven-and-explainable-discrete-optimization-for-effective-transportation-in-healthcare/
".

Successful applicants are expected to: (i) have obtained or be close to
obtaining an M.Sc. degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or
other relevant discipline, (ii) demonstrate their interest and skills on
algorithms and data science (analytical thinking with mathematical rigor
will be needed), (iii) have reasonable programming skills (Python coding
will be needed), and (iv) have good communication skills in English. Prior
experience on integer programming and approximation / online algorithms
should be particularly useful.

Candidates interested in these positions are invited to contact me with
their CV and a brief statement of interest.

Kind regards,
Dimitris
