[DMANET] Assistant professor, discrete optimization + decision-making under uncertainty

Open position at Linköping University and ELLIIT, Sweden:
Assistant professor in optimization, with very generous conditions for research.

Area: Discrete optimization to improve mathematical models and methods for decision-making under uncertainty.

In short:
· At the Department of Mathematics at Linköping University and part of the very strong research environment ELLIIT https://elliit.se/
· Funding for research 80% of full time for at least 5 years, free to choose projects within the scope of the position (see the vacancy announcement)
· Teaching (and/or administrative duties) for 20% of full time
· The position will become permanent after 5 years (unless duties are neglected)
· There are career paths all the way to Full Professor within the university

Scientific skills that are of specific value for this position are experiences in:
· development of exact and heuristic methods for solving discrete optimization problems;
· mathematical models and methods for optimization under uncertainty, including experiences from frameworks such as stochastic programming, robust optimization, and distributionally robust optimization;
· machine learning for optimization;
· application of optimization under uncertainty to solve practically relevant problems within e.g. transportation, logistics, and healthcare;
· optimization for decision-making in AI.
In addition to the above skills, it is desirable with experiences in or a clear vision for how to contribute to sustainable development, both through research and teaching.
