Professorship in Mathematical Programming at the University Bordeaux 1
Forum 'Emplois' - Sujet créé le 2007-06-28
The University Bordeaux 1 invites applications for a Professorship in Mathematical Programming (tenure position). The appointee shall be attached to the Applied Mathematics Department (DIM) with regards to teaching, while his/her research laboratory of attachment shall be the Mathematics Institute of Bordeaux (IMB). The position is due to start on September 1st, 2008. But candidates must first acquire the qualification as Professor of the French Universitites for which the application deadline is September 2007 (see here for details).
The canditate shall integrate the research team RealOpt, an INRIA research project in discrete optimization, mathematical programming, and graph theory. Its aim is to develop tight formulations for combinatorial problems based on reformulation techniques, such as Lagrangian and polyhedral approaches (column and cutting plane generation), non-linear programming tools (quadratic programs and semi-definte relaxations) and graph theoretics tools. Through industrial partnerships, the team targets large scale problems such as those arising in logistics (routing problems), in planning and scheduling, in network design and control, and in placement problems (cutting stock problems). The candidate shall contribute to the teaching in Bachelor degree (Licence) and Master degree. The candidate shall specifically contribute to the Master speciality in Operations Research (see Speciality 3 in Master MIMSE).
The applicant should have a demonstrated record of international top-quality research in combinatorial theory and exact algorithms. The applicant's thematic and research expertise should be complementary to those developed in the RealOpt group. Are specially welcome, expertise in Polyhedral approaches, and also in quadratic and constraint programming approaches. The candidate should be concerned with efficient implementations and large scale industrial problem solving. Skills in specific application domains such as network design and control, production or logistic problems are also appreciated. The candidate shall be expected to develop industrial contacts to place trainee students. Such industrial partnership should also be considered in the context of doctoral student supervisions and research contracts.
