PhD positions in Production and Workforce Planning Optimization at DecisionBrain in Paris (France), in cooperation with the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne (site of Gardanne)
(Stéphane Dauzère-Pérès)
Two PhD positions in Production and Workforce Planning Optimization are available at the company DecisionBrain,
https://www.decisionbrain.com, in collaboration with the site or Gardanne (Provence, France) of the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne.
The two topics are summarized below.
. Production Planning Optimization. The objectives of the thesis are multiple, and in particular (1) The study of lot sizing problems with several dozens of resources in parallel, (2) The proposition of a generic and modular approach that can deal with problems at different levels of complexity, and (3) The integration into the proposed approach of objectives or constraints helping to ensure the consistency of lot sizing decisions with their operational implementation at the scheduling level.
. Workforce Planning Optimization. This thesis aims at modeling and solving complex workforce optimization problems at different decisions levels, from strategic (workforce sizing) to real-time (workforce allocation). Specific constraints such as qualifications of personnel, travel times between tasks or different types of tasks need to be considered. The robustness of plans to real-time events would have to be studied.
The PhD students will be located in Paris, and will regularly visit the Department "Manufacturing Sciences and Logistics" located in Gardanne (south of France, between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille) of the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne.
The positions are for three years and should start as soon as possible.
Applicants must have a Master Degree (or equivalent) in Computer Sciences, Applied Mathematics, Industrial Engineering or any related discipline. Applicants should demonstrate good programming skills and knowledge in combinatorial optimization. Experience on the development of solution methods for workforce or production planning problems would be appreciated.
Please send your application electronically (preferably as a single pdf file) including a detailed curriculum vitae and examination results, plus, if available, a list of reference letters and copies of diploma, to: Professor Stéphane Dauzère-Pérès,
dauzere-peres@emse.fr,

Postdoctoral Position, Mathematical Optimization, Univ of Vienna
The Research Group on Applied Mathematics with emphasis on Optimization at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna, headed by Radu Ioan Bot, has its core research areas in Nonsmooth and Convex Optimization. Currently it offers 1 PostDoc Position (18 months) at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna within the FWF-funded research project Employing Recent Outcomes in Proximal Theory Outside the Comfort Zone.
The main scientific target of the project is to employ recent advances concerning some classical techniques used so far mainly for iteratively minimizing convex functions in Hilbert spaces to research fields lying outside their comfort zone. These methods evolve around the notion of proximality, which relies on evaluating a certain regularization of the addressed mathematical object. Due to its reliability, simplicity and accuracy, the proximal theory was successfully employed for solving nonsmooth convex optimization problems and monotone inclusions with complex structures as well, proving a strong positive impact on the treatment of real-life applications with high-dimensional data. The research themes to be addressed in this project range from the employment of the paradigm of proximality in broader frameworks like considering generalized distances and addressing the solving of nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problems to the approach of monotone inclusions problems and optimization problems via first- and second-order dynamical systems. The expected results should have impact beyond the corresponding research areas both in mathematical fields like ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, optimal control, functional analysis, game theory, equilibrium problems and optimal transport theory, and in the solving of real-life problems
arising in optimal location selection, image processing, machine learning, quantification of risk, network communication and video processing. The position is available from April 1st, 2018. The salary is as suggested by the FWF according to a PostDoc position. The working load for the project is 40 hours per week. The deadline for application is March 15th, 2018.
The candidates should have a PhD degree in Mathematics, a solid theoretical background in analysis and mathematical optimization, and programming skills. Fluency in the English language has to be proven. Applications (including a letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, the PhD thesis, peer reviewed publications, copies of academic certificates and two letters of recommendation) should be sent to:
min.hadler@univie.ac.at. More information can be found on
