1- Graduate Positions, UBC, Canada
(source: M. Th�ra)
Applications are invited for 4 graduate positions (3 MSc and 1 PhD) to work
on optimization and modelling.
One PhD position is available to work on the road optimization problem.
The research will involve the understanding, development and numerical
testing
of new models for the road design problem. The ideal applicant has a
background
in optimization (LP, MIP, NLP, etc.), some programming experience in
C++, and
the ability to communicate effectively (in English) with our industrial
partner.
The position is fully funded and can start either in May 2012 or Sept 2012.
2 MSc positions are available in optimization and parallel computing.
The applicants should have either a solid background in programming or
optimization with a BSc degree in computer science or mathematics.
Funding is already in place for one position.
1 MSc position (subject to funding) is available in the field of
computational
convex analysis. The applicant should have a background in computer science
(BSc) with interest in optimization or a background in mathematics with
programming skills.

University
of British Columbia (Canada) on the fast growing campus of Kelowna.
The research team is interdisciplinary with faculty member from Mathematics,
Computer Science, and Civil Engineering and is part of the OCANA research
group (http://ocana.ok.ubc.ca/).
Application deadline is January 31, 2012 at 4:00 pm but fully funded
positions
are open until filled.

2- PhD Position in stochastic programming
(source: F. Bonnans)
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology(NTNU) in Trondheim
Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management
PhD Position in stochasticprogramming
A position as PhD Candidate in stochastic programming is available at the
Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management.
The Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management currently
consists of 16 Professors, 6 Adjunct Professors, 16 Associate Professors,
7 Postdoctoral Fellows and 35 PhD Candidates.
The Department is organized in four groups:
* Strategy and Management
* Organization, Work Science and Law
* Managerial Economics, Finance and Operations Research
* Health, Safety and Environment
The PhD. Candidate will be appointed for a period of three years with an
optional
fourth year set aside for required duties at the department. The
position is funded
by a research project in cooperation between NTNU, the research council of
Norway and the Norwegian power grid operator Statnett. A completed master's
degree or equivalent, with good results, is required. A background in
mathematical
optimization or operations research is required. Knowledge about energy
systems
and or markets is preferred. Strong academic skills and personal
qualifications will
be emphasized. Personal qualifications will be ascribed high importance.
The title of the project is "Optimal power network design and operation".
The overall objective of the project will be to ensure security of power
supply in the
face of uncertainties on both the supply and demand side, while
optimizing economic
efficiency of the system focusing oncapacity utilization and
transmission losses.
There are two main research activities:
- Economic dispatch and dynamic network topology:
This research topic will study the possibilities for dynamically
changing the network
topology, including switching individual transmission lines in and out
of operation.
We will develop new optimization models combining economic efficiency
and detailed
modelling of the physical power flows. Dynamic topology switching models
is optimized
in order to study effects on
- Economic cost efficiency in the dispatch
- Throughput improvements
- Reliability
- Market design for flexible transmission system operation. This
research task will
address the relationships between the physical system and market design.
In future
operational scenarios where one expectsmuch more variation in demand and
supply
it is critical to have better integration between the physical network
and the electricity
markets. A more flexible operational system with transmission switching
and dynamic
reliability management triggers the need to look into how the market
should be
designed to utilize this flexibility.
Employment in a PhD position requires admission to the PhD-program in
Industrial
Economics and Technology Management. Information about the PhD-program can
be found at: http://www.ntnu.edu/studies/phiot
Applications should include a publication list, relevant sample
publications (no more than
five), a project description of no more than three pages, a CV with
information about
education and previous research experience, and certified copies of
diplomas and grade
transcripts. If the applicant does not have any relevantpublications,
please include a
sample demonstrating academic writing skills(master thesis etc.). Fluent
English skills
are required. Residents of non-English speaking countries and
Scandinavia should include
TOEFL or IELTS scores with their application.
The position is paid according to salary scale code 1017 level 48 in the
national salary
scheme, monthly gross NOK 32591,70, of which 2 % is deducted for the
State Pension
Scheme.
The appointment is made in accordance with the regulations in force
concerning State
Employees and Civil Servants. Primary residency in Trondheim is a
prerequisite.
Further information about the position is available by contacting
professor Asgeir Tomasgard
( asgeir.tomasgard at iot.ntnu.no ). Applications should be sent to him
before December 18th.

3- Postdoc Position, Optimization, Univ of Liege, Belgium
(source: F. Bonnans)
A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Liege, Belgium.
The position is part of a FNRS-funded collaborative grant
on the topic of nonsmooth optimization on manifolds. The three PIs of
the grant are Rodolphe Sepulchre (U. Liege), Pierre-Antoine Absil
(ULouvain) and Y. Nesterov (ULouvain). The project aims at
developing new algorithms at the interface between manifold optimization
and nonsmooth convex optimization, motivated by large-scale applications
in statistics and machine learning.
Applications should be emailed to Professor Rodolphe Sepulchre
(r.sepulchre at ulg.ac.be). The application should contain a letter of
motivation, a detailed resume, a list of publications,
and the names and contact information of three professors who can
provide a letter of recommendation for the position. The position is
immediately available and should be filled by September 1, 2012.
The initial appointment will be for one year, with a possibility of
reappointment for a maximal total duration of three years.
