1- Grad Positions at Univ British Columbia, Canada
(source: J.B. Hiriart-Urruty, M. Th�ra)
Applications are invited for 4 graduate positions (3 MSc and 1 PhD) to
work on optimization and modelling.
One PhD position and two MSc positions are 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 PhD 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.
Applicants to the MSc positions 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 all 3 positions with a
starting date of Sept 2013.
One 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.
You will join a dynamic group of researchers in optimization at the
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
COCANA (Centre for Optimization, Convex Analysis, and Nonsmooth
Analysis, see http://ocana.ok.ubc.ca/).
Application deadline is January 31, 2013 at 4:00 pm but fully funded
positions are open until filled. For further detail see
http://www.ubc.ca/okanagan/gradstudies/
Applicants must submit an application to the grad program directly and
contact Dr. Yves Lucet, Associate Professor Computer Science at
yves.lucet at ubc.ca for further details.

The preceding ones have been held every three years starting
from 1995.
The Workshop aims to review and discuss recent advances and
promising research trends in Nonlinear Optimization and to
provide a forum for fruitful interactions in strictly related
fields of research, with a particular focus on applications.
Topics include
- constrained and unconstrained nonlinear optimization
- global optimization
- derivative-free methods
- nonsmooth optimization
- nonlinear complementarity problems
- variational inequalities
- equilibrium problems
- game theory
- bilevel optimization
- optimization and machine learning
- applications of nonlinear optimization
The Workshop will include invited lectures (1 hour) and
contributed lectures (30 minutes). Members of the international
scientific community are invited to contribute a lecture
describing their current research and applications.
