[Opt-Net] PhD position in the field of harvesting logistics optimization (Fraunhofer ITWM)

[Neele Leithäuser]

The Department of Optimization at the Fraunhofer Institute of Industrial 
Mathematics ITWM in Kaiserslautern, Germany offers
 
  a PhD position in the field of harvesting logistics optimization.
 
The problems to address include the optimal assignment and scheduling of 
agricultural machines and staff. Therefore an integrated view on well-known
discrete optimization problems such as routing, scheduling, packing and 
location problems is needed.
 
The core competence of the Department of Optimization is to develop 
individual solutions for planning and decision problems in production, 
logistics, engineering sciences and life sciences in close cooperation 
with researchers and customers from industry. The methodology is based 
on the coupling of simulation, optimization and decision support.
 
Applicants should have completed their University Studies in 
Mathematics, Computer Science or Operations Research and be interested in 
Discrete mathematics. It is mandatory for applicants to either already have 
good programming skills or be motivated to acquire them. 
 
Phd candidates will receive a scholarship according to the rules of the 
German Research Foundation DFG.
