OPEN RESEARCH POSITION


The "Institut für Mathematische Optimierung (IMO)" of the TU Braunschweig
has a vacant position for a

	- Scientific Research Assistant (TV-L EG 13) -

starting as soon as possible. At the time being the position is limited to
27 months but in principle there are options for longer employment.

energieeffizienter Güterfahrzuglagen bei Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen",
which is part of the BMBF joint research project "E-Motion:
Energie-effiziente Mobilität".

We are looking for a Ph.D. student with an above-average degree in
mathematics or a related area (master's degree or equivalent, e.g. the
German Diploma), who has a very good knowledge in Discrete Optimization, in
particular in integer programming and combinatorial optimization, and who
wants to specialize in this area. The successful candidate will develop and
implement mathematical models and algorithms in order to solve large-scale
optimization problems. Obligations within the project require maintaining
