A position in numerical optimisation is open at CERFACS in the
Parallel Algorithms Team. The Parallel Algorithms project is looking
for a bright, motivated person with a good research record and the
ability to join existing projects in numerical optimization with a
strong initiative in pursuing new research directions. A PhD in
applied mathematics with a strong interest in numerical optimisation
and a solid experience in research. An experience with real-life
problems is appreciated. Application from young talented or
well-established researchers are welcome.
The Parallel Algorithm project aims at designing optimisation codes
and the related mathematical theory to tackle frontier problems
arising from industrial applications, including aeronautics and
geosciences. Candidates intending to work on derivative based or
derivative free algorithms are equally welcome. The present research
activity will focus on both constrained and unconstrained
optimisation. The project will address in particular issues related to
the global convergence and control of the complexity of algorithms
with respect to several aspects including noisy functions and
constraints, availability of derivatives, parallel algorithms.
The position is open as a postdoctoral position that
will (very shortly, depending on experience) be turned into a
permanent position.
Interested candidates should send applications containing cover
letter, CV (with a list of publications), the names and contacts of at
least two referees before end of January 2014 to both Serge Gratton
(serge.gratton@enseeiht.fr) and Xavier Vasseur (vasseur@cerfacs.fr).
