Description
La th�se se situe dans la continuit� de travaux portant sur
l?utilisation des
m�thodes de d�composition/coordination pour les probl�mes de
commande optimale
stochastique en temps discret. L?objectif est de d�composer "en
espace" un probl�me
global comportant de nombreux variables dynamiques afin d?obtenir des
sous-probl�mes
de petite taille, et de calculer pour chaque sous-probl�me des
strat�gies de gestion
en feedback permettant de reconstituer l?optimum global. Les applications
sont
nombreuses, en particulier dans le domaine de gestion de l'�nergie et des
"smart grid".

A tenure track position has been recently opened at CWI in the area of
Applied
Combinatorics and Optimization.
The position is for a researcher who has an excellent track record in
discrete
mathematics and optimization, and has a real interest in carrying out applied
research in the area of logistics.
Details about the position are given in plain text below.
If you know of some young talented researcher who might be interested in this
open position,
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

M.Laurent at cwi.nl
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) invites researchers to apply for a
tenure
track position in Applied Combinatorics and Optimization within the
Networks &
Optimization group.
We particularly invite qualified women to apply.
Job description
Discrete optimization and algorithmics play a central role at the
interface of
mathematics and computer science, with a wide range of applications to other
scientific disciplines like physics and economics and to practice including
logistics, transportation, data clustering, and biological networks.
We are looking for a highly talented research scientist who is specialized in
discrete mathematics and optimization. You should not only be an excellent
mathematician, but also have a real interest in initiating, and contributing
to, applied research projects in the area of logistic processes, which is now
one of the five strategic themes at CWI and a top sector in Dutch
science policy.
You should have the potential and ambition to become a world leader in
the field.
You will become member of the Networks & Optimization group. The group is
well-renowned and has a strong international reputation, both on fundamental
mathematics and on applications of the results to practice. Examples of such
application areas in logistics are train timetabling, transportation systems
and navigation systems. You are expected to acquire funding to build your
own research line and research group.
This vacancy is part of an incentive, in which twelve tenure track positions
in mathematics will become available at Dutch universities and research
institutes. This is made possible by the Ministry of Education, Culture and
Science via the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).
For more information, please visit www.nwo.nl/math.
For more information, please contact:
Prof.dr. M. Laurent, monique.laurent at cwi.nl.
Requirements
We expect a strong track record of innovative research and publications in
leading international journals, and the ambition and potential to acquire
personal research grants in the Netherlands or from the EU, as well as
external funding for fundamental and applied research. Moreover, the
candidate should be an independently working researcher with at least two
years of postdoctoral experience and with excellent communication skills.
Terms and conditions
The position is for three or five years depending on knowledge and
experience. At the end of a successful tenure track term a permanent
scientific staff position will be offered. Criteria for evaluation comprise
a track record of publications that is well above average, and the ability
to acquire funding and to achieve an (inter)national network and reputation.
The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour
Agreement for Research Centres ("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen").
Depending on relevant work experience, the gross monthly salary for an
employee on a full time basis ranges from ? 3,228 to ? 5,473. Employees are
also entitled to a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a
year-end bonus of 8,33%. CWI offers attractive working conditions,
including flexible scheduling and help with housing for expat employees.
How to apply
Applicants with at least two years of postdoctoral experience, should send:
- a motivation letter;
- a curriculum vitae with a list of publications;
- a copy of their thesis and/or of their three most prominent publications;
- the names of at least three prominent scientists who can provide letters
of recommendation;
- a research statement and a research plan for the coming years, including
plans on how to acquire additional funding.
Please send your application before 1 July 2013 to:

9- Laureats du prix de these PGMO
(source: J.-F- Bonnans)
Le jury du prix de th�se PGMO, pr�sid� par Mme. Marie-Christine
Costa, a d�sign� les deux laur�ats du prix de th�se PGMO 2013 d'un
montant de 1000 euros. Il seront remis officiellement le jeudi 3
octobre 2013 lors de la journ�e annuelle de bilan du PGMO � l'ENSTA.
Les laur�ats auront la possibilit� de faire un expos� de leurs
travaux (dur�e de 20 minutes environ � v�rifier avec les
organisateurs). Ils sont donc:
Olivier Fercoq a fait sa th�se sous la direction de St�phane Gaubert
et Marianne Akian (X, CMAP + INRIA) Le sujet �tait: "Optimisation de
vecteurs propres de Perron et applications: du r�f�rencement de pages
web � la chonoth�rapie." Cette th�se constitue une "contribution
majeure dans le domaine de l'optimisation de fonctions d'utilit� sur
l'ensemble des matrices positives" (selon l'un des rapporteurs). Elle
pr�sente � la fois un ensemble de r�sultats th�oriques
(propri�t�s,
analyse de complexit�, ...) et des applications int�ressantes.
Thibaut Vidal a fait sa th�se sous la direction de Michel Gendreau,
Theodor Crainic et Christian Prins, avec une co-tutelle entre les
universit�s de Montr�al et Troyes (GERAD+LOSI). Le sujet �tait:
"General solution approaches for multi-attribute vehicle routing and
scheduling problems". Cette th�se peut �tre vue comme "un recueil des
r�sultats les plus int�ressants et les plus marquants des derni�res
d�cades dans le domaine des recherche de solutions heuristiques pour
les tourn�es de v�hicules" (selon l'un des rapporteurs) et "un pas en
avant dans la qu�te d'une approche g�n�rale de r�solution d'une large
palette de probl�mes de tourn�es" (selon l'autre). Elle pr�sente des
r�sultats g�n�riques concernant les m�ta-heuristiques pour les
probl�mes riches de tourn�es et pouvant �tre �tendus � d'autres
probl�mes, une analyse compl�te de ces probl�mes et s'appuie sur de
lourdes r�alisations informatiques.
