The Parallel computing and Optimisation Group (PCOG) at the University 
of Luxembourg is looking for a Research Associate in hybrid optimization 
algorithms for modern supercomputers.

This is a fully funded position for 2 years in the UltraBO (Ultra-scale 
Computing for solving Big Optimization Problems) project conducted in 
collaboration with the BONUS (Big Optimization and Ultra-Scale 
computing) team of Prof. Melab at the University of Lille (France).

The UltraBO project aims to design and implement novel parallel hybrid 
optimization algorithms for modern supercomputers. Many experiments 
reported in the literature demonstrate that high-quality results are 
obtained through hybridization. However, finding efficient and effective 
hybridization schemes is challenging and tedious. On the other hand, 
according to Top500 modern supercomputers are increasingly large 
(millions of cores), heterogeneous (various CPUs, GPU, FPGA, …) and less 
and less reliable (Mean Time Between Failures - MTBF<1h) making their 
programming increasingly complex. The design and implementation of 
parallel algorithms for these ultra-scale supercomputers is still in its 
infancy especially in combinatorial optimization.

The Research Associate will thus conduct research in the fields of 
hybrid optimisation algorithms and parallel computing.


Your Profile…

• A PhD degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics or a related field.
• Experience in optimisation algorithms (exact, heuristics, 
metaheuristics,…),
• Experience in machine learning algorithms,
• Experience in high-performance computing (HPC) is a plus;
• Knowledge of parallel computing and programming (MPI, Chapel, …) is a 
plus,
• Sound publication track record in relevant international conferences 
and top journals,
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C/C++
• Highly committed, excellent team-worker, and strong critical thinking 
skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English


In Short

• Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract 24 Months
• Work Hours: Full Time 40.0 Hours per Week
• Location: Belval
• Internal Title: Postdoctoral researcher
• Job Reference: UOL05782

The yearly gross salary for every Postdoctoral Researcher at the UL is 
EUR 81072 (full time)
