OVERVIEW
We are seeking candidates for a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship position

Campinas, SP, Brazil.  This fellowship is part of a Project, entitled 
Logistics 4.0: technologies for flexible and eco-efficient logistics 
funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (Fapesp). The project is a 
collaboration between the University of Campinas (Brazil), University of 
Porto (Portugal) and INESC TEC (Portugal).

GOALS
Development of exact solution methods for Dynamic Vehicle Routing 
Problems with Uncertainty.  Development of approximate, metaheuristics 
and matheuristics algorithms to address larger instances of the problem. 
  Access the applicability of the developed methods in large instances 
and in real-world instances based on a large European retail company.

SPECIFICATIONS
The candidate must have a PhD in Computer Science, Operations Research, 
Applied Mathematics or in a related field. The candidate must have 
finished the PhD less than seven years before the beginning of the PD 
fellowship. The candidate should demonstrate a solid background in
