Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
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 (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ember.to/">https://www.ember.to/</a>><br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
