*Postdoctoral positions at SINTEF Optimisation!*

We are looking for professional and dedicated candidates to work in our 
Optimisation group at SINTEF Digital in Oslo, in the Department of 
Mathematics and Cybernetics. The duration of the position will be three 
years, with the possibility 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 18 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 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. Your research 
responsibilities involves mathematical modelling, development of 
optimisation algorithms as well as software development. The candidate 
(along with 5 colleagues) will work with optimisation within our air 
traffic management projects. Collaboration skills are crucial.

Fluency in English is expected along with 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
  * Discrete event simulation
  * Multi-agent systems

*Software development skills:*We are looking for candidates with 
excellent programming skills, preferably in C#, C++, or Java. Experience 
with commercial solvers is a pro.

*We offer:*

  * Challenging applied research tasks in the aviation industry.
  * A good work environment with skilful, experienced, and creative
    research colleagues.
  * Well-established national and international scientific and
    industrial networks.
  * 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 three years, with the possibility to 
make it a permanent position if all parties are interested.

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

*Closing date for applications:*8th of September, 2016.

*How to apply:*Your application should include CV and Cover letter.
