A postdoctoral position is open at the Department of Informatics at the 
University of Fribourg (Switzerland) within the Decision Support & 
Operations Research group. The successful candidate will work on our 
efficient and sustainable waste collection project that we started about 
two years ago. This project is conducted in collaboration with an 
industrial partner. The goal is to improve the municipal solid waste 
collection process by designing efficient and sus-tainable collection 
strategies targeted to the needs of the municipalities (further 
information on www3.unifr.ch/inf/dsor/en/research).

The main tasks of the postdoctoral researcher involve establishing and 
implementing mathematical models and combinatorial optimization 
algorithms for new waste collections strate-gies and developing a (web 
based) decision support system enabling to specify the inputs and to 
display the results of the optimization process for different collection 
strategies.

The postdoctoral position is fully funded for 1.5 years (with possible 
extension). Starting date is flexible. We offer a competitive gross 
salary starting at 75’000 CHF per year. The postdoc-toral researcher 
gets the opportunity to attend international conferences and to travel 
and learn from leading experts through our wide network of academic and 
industrial collabora-tions.


The candidate must:

- have a PhD degree in Operations Research, Computer Science, 
Information Systems, Mathematics, or related domain.

- have a strong background in applied combinatorial optimization and 
integer programming.

- have strong programming skills.

- be able to develop and implement optimization methods for large-scale, 
real-world problems.


To apply, please send a complete CV, a motivation letter and some 
references to Prof. Bernard Ries: bernard.ries at unifr.ch. For further 
information, please contact Dr. Reinhard Bürgy reinhard.buergy at unifr.ch.


Formal evaluation of the applications will begin on October 1, 2020. 
Applications beyond that date might be considered.
