*Postdoctoral positions at SINTEF Optimisation!*

We are looking for professional and dedicated candidates to work for our 
Optimisation group at SINTEF ICT in Oslo, in the department of Applied 
Mathematics. The duration will be two years, with the intention to make 
it a permanent position if all parties are interested.

**

*About us:*SINTEF is the largest independent research organisation in 
Scandinavia. We create value through knowledge generation, research and 
innovation, and develop technological solutions that are brought into 
practical use. We are a broadly based, multidisciplinary research 
institute that possesses international top-level expertise in 
technology, medicine, and the social sciences. SINTEF is an independent, 
non-commercial organisation and our profits are invested in new 
research, scientific equipment, and development of novel expertise.

**

*SINTEF Optimisation:*We are currently 14 researchers, some of whom also 
work as software engineers. For the past 20 years, we have been 
developing optimisation methods, software prototypes, libraries, and 
components. We have built expertise at an international level and have a 
good publication record. Our group conducts basic and applied research 
on planning, scheduling, routing, sequencing, and timetabling problems. 
Our main market areas are transportation: road, railway, maritime, and 
aviation; healthcare; sports; and finance. We work with commercial 
solvers (Cplex, Gurobi, etc.) as well as our own software libraries that 
have been refined over many years and contain a range of different 
solution methods (exact and approximate). In recent years, we have 
developed our own discrete event simulator that has been used in several 
industrial projects. We commercialise our results, either through 
existing solution vendors, spin-off companies, or directly to end users. 
Our revenues come from users in industry and the public sector, often 
supported by Norwegian or EU funding bodies.

**

*Positions:*We are looking for candidates with a PhD in applied 
mathematics, operations research, computer science, or similar. 
Optimisation experience from industry is an advantage. As a researcher, 
your responsibilities will involve mathematical modelling, development 
of optimisation algorithms as well as software development. In addition, 
you are expected to contribute to the acquisition of new projects, and 
further development of our market areas.

Fluency in English is expected along with excellent communication and 
presentation skills. The positions also require excellent communication 
and presentation skills. Moreover, you should be curious, inventive, 
have a proactive attitude, and be able to deliver expected results at an 
appointed time.

**

*Expertise:*We require a solid background in combinatorial optimisation, 
and seek candidates with expertise in several of the following areas:

- Mathematical programming

- Decomposition methods

- Heuristics, metaheuristics, and matheuristics

- Constraint programming

- Real-time optimisation

- Exact and approximate methods for solving problems with uncertainty

- Discrete event simulation

- Multi-agent systems

Experience in statistics and machine learning is not required but would 
be a plus.

Software development skills: We are looking for candidates with 
excellent programming skills in C# or C++. Skills in Java, python, and R 
would be a plus.

**

*We offer:*

- Challenging research tasks based on industry applications.

- A good work environment with skilful, experienced, and creative 
research colleagues.

- Well-established national and international scientific and industrial 
networks.

- Good opportunities for career development both for candidates that 
seek academic careers or industrial careers

- Competitive salary (subject to qualifications).

- A large degree of autonomy, and flexible working hours.

- Social benefits (pension plan, insurance, possibility for 
kindergarten, etc.).

**

*Duration:*The duration will be two years, with the intention to make it 
a permanent position if all parties are interested.

**

*Location:*SINTEF ICT’s office in Oslo.
