Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium
The
full version
of this announcement is available.
The Service de Mathematiques de la Gestion of the Universite Libre de
Bruxelles is the operations research department of the free university
of Brussels. The department is seeking researchers for the following
projects:
-
Research in traffic control (two year position). The objective of
the project is the implementation of an integrated traffic control
and users information system for urban corridors. Skills required:
-
traffic modeling experience (esp. in dynamic & real time case);
-
knowledge of optimization techniques (location models);
-
knowledge of Automatic Incident Dection and of Variable Message
System should be very appreciated.
-
Research post in steel planning (two year position). Task of the
researcher is to provide algorithms to solve 2 specific scheduling
problems of the steel industry and to make a first implementation
of those methods in C++ on a Unix workstation. Skills required:
-
modeling experience (preferably in an industrial environment);
-
programming ability (C++ experience desirable);
-
knowledge of current optimization techniques (mixed integer
programming, heuristics, meta-heuristics).
-
Research post in steel planning (one year position). Task of the
researcher is to design and implement an improved algorithm to a
problem for which the modeling phase has already been carried out.
Experience required: programming in C++, optimization techniques.
