[Opt-Net] PhD/project position at TU Chemnitz in Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics

[Christoph Helmberg]

At the Department of Mathematics of Technische Universitaet Chemnitz a 
PhD position is available in the Algorithmic and Discrete Mathematics 
group in the project

   "Operational Train Timetabling for Energy Efficient Schedules"

within the joint BMBF-project "Energy Efficient Mobility" (E-Motion)
starting as soon as possible (from 01.11.2013 onwards) at the level

    Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter/Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin
              (75%, Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L)

The position is subject to the usual regulations according to Saxonian 
law. The official German announcement is available on

https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/verwaltung/personal/stellen/221033_4_NR.php

Applicants should have completed their studies at least at master level 
in a program with strong mathematical background in convex and discrete 
optimization.

The project focuses on the scientific development, investigation and 
algorithmic implementation of mathematical models for energy efficient 
train timetabling. Starting point are time discretized network models of 
train rides decoupled by Langrangian relaxation. The project aims at 
exploring possibilities for dynamic discretization techniques and for 
reducing energetic peak loads.  The topic is intended for advancing the 
scientific qualification of the applicant towards a PhD or beyond.

Applications should refer to the official announcement and should be 
directed electronically or by standard mail before 08.11.2013 (but 
applications will be considered as long as the position is still free) to
