Postdoc position in Discrete Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics and Mathematical statistics and UMIT 
Research Lab at Umeå University is offering a postdoctoral scholarship 
within the project “Algorithms For Real-World Problems from Operations 
Research Based on the Extended Theory of Tolerances”.

The term tolerance has been introduced by Goldengorin and Sierksma in 
2003 and has, since then, attracted much attention, theoretical as well 
as within applications to combinatorial optimization problems, in 
particular for the Traveling Salesman Problem. Recently, an extended 
version of this theory has been created. The applicant is expected to 
make use of this new theory and apply it to real-world problems like the 
Shortest Path Problem, the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem, and the 
Strip-Road Network Problem.

The application should have a good knowledge in discrete optimization 
and operations research and
good programming skills, for example in the area of linear programming. 
The fellow should have the ability to communicate in English and work in 
an interdisciplinary environment.

The application should include a short description of your research 
interests and why you are interested in the scholarship, a CV, a 
publication list, copies of exam certificates, the PhD thesis, and 
contact information of at least 2 references. The application should be 
written in Swedish or, preferably, English and should be submitted 
either on paper in 2 copies or electronically in PDF format.

For more information, please contact Associate Professor Gerold Jäger, 
gerold.jaeger at math.umu.se, +46-(0)90-786 61 41 or Assistant Professor 
Eddie Wadbro, eddiew at cs.umu.se.
