Dear colleagues,

applications are invited for a 12-month Postdoctoral Research Associate 
position in Operations Research and Optimisation at the School of 
Mathematics, The University of Edinburgh, in collaboration with Ember 
Core Ltd (https://www.ember.to/>
The future of public transport is fully electric and tech-enabled. Ember 
is a start-up building such a future in Scotland by offering electric 
bus service on a small number of routes across Scotland. They are now 
looking to use optimisation algorithms for their vehicle and driver 
assignment as they scale up their network. In collaboration with the 
University of Edinburgh, Ember has already developed an initial 
prototype of an algorithm that assigns vehicles to routes. As a next 
step, we aim to expand the prototype to include driver allocations.

The post-holder will conduct research on the combined bus and driver 
scheduling, critically leading the development of models and algorithms 
for the task (with the research team). This is a complex problem that 
needs to account for, among other things, battery charging and driving 
time regulations. The successful applicant will work closely with the 
company, especially with their Head of Engineering, spending part of 
their time at Ember’s office in central Edinburgh.

This position can start as soon as Apr 1, 2023 (or on a mutually agreed 
date). The project is funded by an EPSRC-UoE Impact Acceleration Account 
(IAA) with the industrial partner Ember.
