A postdoc position is available within the research group CODeS/NUMA from the department of Computer Science, part of the Science and Technology Group of KU Leuven.
The overall research theme of CODeS includes the design, analysis and application of heuristics for combinatorial optimisation problems. CODeS investigates the construction of models, the behaviour and the application of metaheuristics for combinatorial optimisation and has been highly active in these fields for over a decade. CODeS' research lab, located in Gent has a prolific history of collaboration with industrial partners.
Responsibilities
