This is part of an international collaboration between Inria (Bordeaux, Montpellier, Sophia Antipolis, France) and BCAM - the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (Bilbao, Spain), involving Fabien Campillo , Pierre Del Moral , Mathieu Desroches ?and Serafim Rodrigues . The postdoc will be based at Inria, in Montpellier. The aim of the project is to develop a multiscale model of Dravet syndrome, from ionic channels of interacting neurons to large neural populations. We will use various modeling frameworks, adapted to the scale, from piecewise-deterministic Markov processes to mean-field formalism. The postdoc will perform a mathematical analysis of the models, extensive numerical simulations as well as data analysis using neural recordings from our experimental partners. Regarding profiles that we are seeking, familiarity of the candidate with mathematical modeling in Neuroscience and Markov processes. Ability and willingness to do programming, as well as analyse experimental data, will also be a strong point to select candidates.

The assistant professor will be working at the Department of Computer Science, where research into the foundations of computer science is conducted by professors Susanna de Rezende and Jakob Nordstrom. Jakob Nordstrom leads the research group Mathematical Insights into Algorithms for Optimization (http://www.jakobnordstrom.se/miao-group which is also active at the University of Copenhagen. The research has a unique profile in that it spans a wide range of questions from the theoretical, mathematical foundations of efficient computation all the way to state-of-the-art practical algorithms for real-world problems. This creates a very special environment, where the research projects do not only go deep into different theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting synergies often arise. This position focuses on algorithms for foundational problems within logic, automated reasoning, and combinatorial optimization. This includes design and implementation of algorithms for computational problems within Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving, constraint programming, mixed integer linear programming, and/or satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solving. In addition to algorithm construction, another topic of interest is to develop a scientific understanding of the practical performance of automated reasoning algorithms, and to investigate relations between empirical observations and theoretical results in algorithm analysis and computational complexity theory. Yet another related area concerns methods of ensuring that algorithms compute provably correct results, which can be used to develop trustworthy solvers for automated reasoning and combinatorial optimization. Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the top 100 universities in the world. Lund Technical College (LTH) forms the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University, where research of the highest international standard is conducted. The Department of Computer Science at LTH is a partner in the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), which is Sweden's largest ever individual research program and addresses research on artificial intelligence broadly construed, and also in the ELLIIT Excellence Centre focused on basic and applied research in information technologies. Furthermore, there are extensive collaborations across the Oresund Bridge with the Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC) centre at the University of Copenhagen as well as with the IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

Supply chains are the intricate networks of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in the production and distribution of goods and services. They are vulnerable to disruptions, which can be caused by a wide range of factors and can have profound consequences. Organizations are increasingly aware of the need to build more resilient supply chains. In the face of disruption, supply chain management is a critical function. A supply chain is modeled as a network whose vertices are firms and whose edges represent their interactions. The network evolves dynamically, and may be affected by sudden disruptions. Many of the existing supply-chain models are static and, when dealing with disruptions, compare pre- and post-shock equilibria. In real life, the effects of disruption take time to spread across the network. Understanding this temporal element is fundamental for taking mitigating actions. The main goal of this project is to study dynamic models of supply-chain disruption. The formal analysis of this phenomenon will use tools from network theory, probability theory, game theory, operations management, optimization, dynamical systems, machine learning, data science. We are looking for a candidate who has a strong expertise in at least one of the above fields.

TAIGER Project?(https://taiger.logic.at/abstract> Autonomous agents are increasingly becoming an integral part of our world. It is essential that they act in legal, ethically-sensitive, and socially acceptable ways; more broadly, their behavior must be regulated by norms. While the crucial importance of this endeavor is well-acknowledged, the question of how to implement such agents is still open. Two different approaches emerge: one approach uses symbolic Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques (Logic, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning), while the other relies on sub-symbolic AI (i.e., Machine Learning), where in particular Reinforcement Learning (RL) has proven to be a powerful technique to train autonomous agents to solve complex tasks in sophisticated environments. As both approaches have strengths and weaknesses, the three partners of TAIGER: E. Bartocci (Cyber-Physical Systems), A. Ciabattoni (Logic), and T. Eiter (Knowledge Representation and Answer Set Programming), aim to integrate them, thus getting the best of both worlds. Specifically, TAIGER will introduce effective frameworks for equipping RL-based agents with the ability to comply with norms in possible interplay with their goals. Grounded in formal reasoning, the frameworks will be modular and facilitate transparent justification of judgments. Moreover, they will cope with potential contradictions in normative requirements and handle situations in which no compliance is possible, without deviating too much from the optimal behavior the agent has learned. Salary The salary of the postdoctoral researcher will be of around?4,351.90 Euro (gross) x 14 times = 60,926.6 Euro (gross). The salary of the doctoral researcher will be around 2,464.80 Euro x 14 times = 34,507.2 Euro (gross).
