<span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The open positions are part of the Multifaceted Wellbeing thematic research area, and of the multidisciplinary wellbeing research community JYU.Well. Multifaceted wellbeing (JYU.Well) integrates diverse disciplinary insights
into a holistic understanding of wellbeing-related phenomena, thus contributing high relevance to research, policy, and practice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">One of the open postdoctoral positions is planned to be dedicated to applying decision analytics with multiobjective optimization in the wellbeing context in the Multiobjective Optimization
Group (<a href="http://www.mit.jyu.fi/optgroup/">http://www.mit.jyu.fi/optgroup/</a>) at the Faculty of Information Technology.

<p class="dx-doi"><span lang="EN-US">We welcome new, talented members to the Multiobjective Optimization Group. The group develops methods for supporting decision making in the presence of multiple conflicting objective functions. Therefore, knowledge of multiobjective
optimization is required. To be a bit more specific, the group develops methods as well as software and works with various applications of multiobjective optimization. Examples of our research interests are interactive scalarization based and evolutionary
methods and their hybrids. We work with both simulation-based and data-driven problems. We apply e.g. machine learning and explainability as a part of the decision support processes. We are developing an open source software framework DESDEO for interactive
multiobjective optimization methods (desdeo.it.jyu.fi</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">).
</span><span lang="EN-US">Furthermore, we are actively involved in a thematic research area called Decision Analytics utilizing Causal Models and Multiobjective Optimization (DEMO,

in this postdoctoral position, you will have excellent collaboration networks with both experts in the Multiobjective Optimization Group and the JYU.Well community and access to e.g. various types of data. Our mission is not only to understand data and make
forecasts based on data but make optimized recommendations and decisions based on the data. In making good decisions, we take multiple conflicting objective functions into account simultaneously – thus we support a decision maker or decision makers in finding
the best balance among the conflicting objective functions by augmenting data with domain expertise of decision makers. This is a unique opportunity to work with problems that really matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
