[Opt-Net] Three-year postdoctoral position in computational optimization in Edinburgh

[Julian Hall]

As part of TRAIN at Ed<https://www.ed.ac.uk/human-resources/jobs/train-ed>, an ambitious new postdoctoral fellowship scheme at the University of Edinburgh, applications for a three-year postdoctoral position in computational optimization are invited.

The position combines research and consultancy, and is focused on the linear optimization solver HiGHS<https://github.com/ERGO-Code/HiGHS>. The research aim is to develop novel techniques in high-performance computational optimization based on HiGHS to allow exploration of the efficient frontier in genetic management and improvement of animal populations. The Fellow will also contribute to the growing consultancy activity using HiGHS, with the opportunity for this to lead to the post being self-sustaining beyond the initial three years.

Note that this position is open to all nationalities, but a necessary condition for eligibility is no more than 12 months residence in the UK in the past 36 months.

Further details are available<https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/hall/HiGHS_PDRA.html> and expressions of interest should be made by emailing Julian Hall via jajhall at ed.ac.uk<mailto:jajhall at ed.ac.uk>.
