If you are recruited 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.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We welcome new, talented members to the Multiobjective Optimization Group. The Group works on multiobjective optimization as well as decision/prescriptive analytics and data-driven/data-enabled optimization. We develop
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. We specialize on interactive multiobjective optimization methods (both scalarization-based and evolutionary methods and their hybrids). We are interested in supporting a single decision maker as well as groups of
decision makers. We also develop visualizations and apply artificial intelligence, machine learning tools and explainability as a part of the decision support processes. We are developing an open source software framework DESDEO for interactive multiobjective
optimization methods (<a href="http://desdeo.it.jyu.fi/" target="_blank">desdeo.it.jyu.fi</a>). Furthermore, we are actively involved in a thematic research area called Decision Analytics utilizing Causal Models and Multiobjective Optimization (DEMO,

</span><span lang="EN-US">where the objective is to support data-driven decision making. The open position is connected to this – developing tools for data-driven or data-enabled decision support with e.g. wellbeing, health and rehabilitation as examples of
applications. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The postdoctoral researcher's duties focus on internationally high-level research in the focus areas of the </span><span style="color:black"><a href="https://www.jyu.fi/en/research/jyuwell-school-of-wellbeing/jyuwell-research-spearheads/jyuwell-profiling-area-2023-2028"><span lang="EN-US">JYU.Well

The postdoctoral researcher is also expected to participate in societal interaction together with the JYU.Well research community, supervising students and in teaching within their own areas of expertise. The amount of teaching duties is rather small. Rather
recently graduated researchers with a doctoral degree relevant to these areas are most welcome to apply! For more, see the call for applications.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
