The Research Center for Operations Management at KU Leuven (Belgium) is 
offering a position for a full-time PhD student or postdoctoral 
researcher. The position is associated with the FWO research project 
"Optimization and Analytics for Stochastic and Robust Project 
Scheduling", which involves the design, theoretical analysis, and 
practical implementation of optimization methods for project scheduling 
and similar large-scale planning problems under uncertainty.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong background 
in mathematics, computer science, operations research, or a related 
field. Knowledge in combinatorial optimization (network and scheduling 
algorithms, mathematical programming, ...) and programming skills are an 
asset.

KU Leuven is the largest university of Belgium and ranked among the top 
50 universities in the world. Leuven is a beautiful and liveable city 
with a large and international student population in the heart of 
Europe, only a 20min train-ride from Brussels. Our faculty is located in 
the historic city center, just a 5min walk from the UNESCO World 
Heritage Site "Groot Begijnhof".

We offer an employment as full-time doctoral scholar for initially one 
year, renewable for up to four years after positive evaluation, or a 
postdoctoral position for up to 3 years. Salary is competitive and funds 
for conference travels, participation in summer schools, and other 
activities are available. The tentative starting date is September 2021, 
but earlier or later dates are possible, depending on the availability 
of the candidate.

KU Leuven seeks to foster an environment where all talents can flourish, 
regardless of gender, age, cultural background, nationality, or impairments.
