(English version below)
Nous recherchons pour la rentr�e 2011 un candidat pour une th�se en
Informatique/Math�matiques Appliqu�es en collaboration entre l'ENAC
(laboratoire MAIA) et l'ENSEEIHT-IRIT � Toulouse.
La th�se est financ�e par le PRES-Toulouse.

Sujet : L'optimisation globale d�terministe appliqu�e
            � la gestion du trafic a�rien

L'objectif de la th�se est le d�veloppement de m�thodes deterministes
d'optimisation globale pour la r�solutions de probl�mes de gestion du
trafic a�rien avec ou sans incertitudes.
Dans le cadre de la gestion du trafic a�rien, il y a beaucoup de
probl�matiques dont la qualit� de la solution est essentielle � la
s�curit�. Parmi ceux-ci, quelques exemples sont donn�s par le
probl�me
de la r�solution des conflits entre avions et celle de l'allocation
des avions de telle fa�on que les contraintes de capacit� de contr�les
soient satisfaites. Ces probl�mes de trafic a�rien peuvent �tre
math�matiquement mod�lis�s comme des probl�mes d'optimisation
globale.
Compte tenu de la grande taille de ces probl�mes, des m�thodes
stochastiques sont habituellement appliqu�es pour les r�soudre. Le
travail de cette th�se sera centr� sur l'utilisation de m�thodes
d�terministes, qui garantiront l'obtention des solutions exactes, ce
qui peut-�tre n�cessaire dans un contexte op�rationnel.

Contexte scientifique
L'�tude propos�e s'inscrit dans le contexte de la th�matique tr�s
actuelle (� travers en particulier le projet europ�en SESAR) de la
gestion du trafic a�rien, qui a des applications concr�tes et a un
r�le important dans le contexte scientifique et industriel de
Toulouse. D'autre part, le d�veloppement et l'application de m�thodes
d'optimisation globale d�terministe est un axe de recherche,
principalement dans la communaut� de la Recherche Op�rationnelle, qui
est en croissance ces derni�res ann�es et a d�j� montr� son
potentiel dans diff�rents contextes applicatifs.

Comp�tences requises :
Le candidat doit avoir un Master en math�matiques
appliqu�es/informatique.
Des connaissances en Optimisation Globale et Discrete seront
appr�ci�s. Des bonnes comp�tences en programmation sont demand�es.
La connaissance du fran�ais n'est pas exig�e.

We are looking for motivated candidates for a PhD in Computer
Science/Applied Mathematics at ENAC (laboratoire MAIA) and
ENSEEIHT-IRIT in Toulouse, funded by  PRES-Toulouse.

Topic: Deterministic global optimization applied to Air Traffic Management

The aim of the PhD thesis is the development of deterministic global
optimization methods for solving problems arising in Air Traffic
Management.
The solution quality of many problems arising in the framework of Air
Traffic Management is essential to security. Examples are given by
aircraft conflict and aircraft allocation with capacity constraints.
These problems can be modeled as global optimization problems. Taking
into account the large size of these problems, stochastic methods are
usually applied for their solution. This thesis will focus on
deterministic methods whose exact solutions can be important in an
operational context.

Scientific context
The proposed topic is within the context of current research on air
traffic management (see, e.g., the European project SESAR), which has
concrete applications and plays an important role in the scientific
and industrial context of Toulouse. Furthermore, deterministic global
optimization is a research topic which is receiving an increasing
attention in the Operations Research community and is showing its
potential in several application contexts.

For more details please contact Sonia Cafieri (sonia.cafieri at enac.fr)
and Frederic Messine (frederic.messine at n7.fr)

Required skills: The candidate should have an outstanding degree in
applied mathematics/computer science.
A background in global/discrete optimization is highly appreciated.
Good programming skills are required.
Knowledge of French is advantageous but does not constitute a pre-requisite.

Expected starting date:
October 2011
Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile (ENAC), Toulouse
& ENSEEIHT-IRIT, Toulouse
ENAC and ENSEEIHT offer a unique academic research environment,
encouraging a mixture of theoretical, applied, and experimental research.

Funding: PRES - University of Toulouse

Supervisioning: Sonia Cafieri (ENAC) and Frederic Messine (ENSEEIHT-IRIT)

Application process:
Please send as soon as possible :
- CV
- Master (or equivalent degree) grades
- Letter of motivation
- Recommendation letter(s)

2- Maths/algorithmics for biology postdoc positions at INRIA, Lyon
(source: E. Moreno)


MATHS/ALGORITHMICS for BIOLOGY POSTDOC POSITIONS

INRIA at University of Lyon 1

Two postdoctoral positions of 1 year each with possible
extension to a second year are available in the INRIA
BAMBOO Team led by Marie-France Sagot in the framework
of an ERC project, SISYPHE, on the mathematical and
algorithmic exploration of symbiosis in biology
(http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/members/sagot/htdocs/team/projects/sisyphe/sisyphe.html)

We are seeking highly qualified and motivated applicants
in mathematics (combinatorics, graph theory, optimisation,
probability) and/or algorithmics, with a strong interest
for biological problems (modelling, problem solving,
data analysis).

Alternatively, candidates with a background in theoretical
biology (genetics, evolution, metabolism) and an
extensive training in mathematics and/or algorithmics
(co-phylogeny, rearrangements, networks, ...) are also
welcome.

The applicants should have an open mind, enjoy working
in close interaction with a team (the group and its
various long-term international collaborators) and daily
interacting with students and researchers from different
disciplines.

We are interested in a range of topics related to the
symbiotic relationship, and the evolutionary and
functional implications of this relationship. The
postdoctoral fellows will elaborate mathematical models
and algorithms to analyse both publicly available and
newly produced data. The specific project will be
established together with the candidate.

The group is international with english as a common
language. It is located in Lyon, a beautiful and lively
city located at the kissing point of the Rh�ne and Sa�ne
rivers.

Please send your detailed application with the usual
documents to: Marie-France.Sagot at inria.fr
<mailto:Marie-France.Sagot at inria.fr>.

Unusual CVs are welcome.
