[Opt-Net] research fellowship in Pisa

[Laura Galli]

Dear friends and colleagues,

Here is an opening for a research fellow position in Pisa, concerned 
with mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems.

*To apply*, follow the instructions at this link:

https://www.unipi.it/ateneo/bandi/assegni/2019/inf/07112019/index.htm

*Deadline*: 7 November 2019, 13:00 (Rome, Italy time)

/About the research:/

We are looking for an enthusiastic research fellow to join us, studying 
mathematical optimization problems that combine both discrete and 
(continuous) nonlinear elements.
It is well-known that the algorithmic approaches for Mixed-Integer 
Linear Programming (MILP) and Non-Linear (continuous) Programming (NLP) 
taken alone
are not sufficient to tackle this class of problems. Indeed, the 
underlying mathematical structure combines non-convexities of the 
discrete elements with nonlinear functions.
This is very significant from a practical point of view, in that it 
allows to more accurately model the complex structures that are required 
by real applications, ranging from energy, telecommunication to 
transportation and logistics, fostering an interplay between industry 
and academia.
Currently, there are several theoretical, algorithmic and computational 
challenges in MINLP, that have now clearly caught the attention of all 
major optimization societies.

The position is funded for 2 years.

Please circulate to potentially interested people.

Many thanks,

Laura.
