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 Optimization of train crew assignment to activity
segments project funded by the SBB Research Fund. The goal is to
develop efficient algorithms to assign train crews to so-called
activity segments. This step is of great importance, since it
drives strategic decisions impacting not only overall costs, but
also employee schedules and satisfaction, reliability in case of
unexpected lack of staff, as well as training and hiring of
specialized collaborators at specific locations.<br>
<br>
The postdoctoral position is fully funded for 1 year. Starting
date is as soon as possible. We offer a competitive gross salary
starting at around 80’000 CHF per year. The postdoctoral
researcher gets the opportunity to attend international
conferences and to travel and learn from leading experts through
our wide network of academic and industrial collaborations.<br>
<br>
The candidate must:<br>
<br>
- have a PhD degree in Operations Research, Computer Science,
Information Systems, Mathematics, or related domain.<br>
<br>
- have a strong background in applied combinatorial optimization
and integer programming.<br>
<br>
- have strong programming skills<br>
<br>
- be able to develop and implement optimization methods for
large-scale, real-world problems.<br>
<br>
