Post-doc position in Operations research at INRIA Lille in the INOCS team

A post-doc position in Operations research available at 
INRIA Lille (France) in the INOCS team : https://team.inria.fr/inocs/

Title : Revenue management in city logistics

Duration : 18 months

Do not hesitate to contact Luce Brotcorne : luce.brotcorne@inria.fr

The postdoc will work on a research project devoted to revenue management for attended home delivery service.

Attended home delivery is a last-mile delivery service, where the customer must be present for the delivery.

The classical delivery model utilizes couriers who serve customer requests. Each customer request consists in

pickup and delivery locations (o-d pairs) associated with a tight delivery time window on which the delivery

company and the customer agree. This research project aims to develop efficient pricing and revenue management

methods for smoothing demand peaks and maximize the revenue for a company operating such a service. This

approach will be based on an existing allocation module which determines the couriers’ schedules while minimizing

the total costs. This research project is conducted within an industrial cooperation with Colisweb, a start-up based in Lille.

We look for candidates with a Ph.D. in Optimization, Operations Research with a strong track record evidenced by

publications in top quality journals. A strong background in mathematical programming is required.

The successful candidate will join INOCS, a Belgian-french INRIA team, which aims to develop new models,

algorithmic techniques and implementations for optimization problems with complex structure.

The position should be taken up in March 2017 or soon after.

Please include a CV and research statement with your application and arrange for two referees to send letters of

recommendation to luce.brotcorne@inria.fr by the closing date.

The closing date for applications is on  February 21 2017.
