Applications are invited for the position of Senior Research Associate 
in the Logistics, Operational Research and Analytics (LORA) Group at the 
University of Portsmouth.  The Senior Research Associate will work on 
the SLIC (SmartLIghtConcept) project funded by EU Interreg 2 Seas. This 
is a multi-disciplinary project which involves 9 European partners 
including the Logistics, Operational Research and Analytics (LORA) Group 
in the Mathematics Department at the University of Portsmouth.

Applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent research experience) in 
Operational Research, or a related discipline. Experience in applied 
Operational Research and decision support tools is required; and 
experience in the Application of Operational Research to the energy 
efficiency, renewable energy or sustainable publiclightingfields is 
desirable. Ideally, you should have experience in dealing with 
industrial and/or governmental problem owners and decision makers. 
Proficiency in computer programming is also required. The applicants 
should show strong motivation for independent research, and the ability 
to work with academic and industrial partners.

Applicants should also be able to perform effectively under pressure and 
time constraints, possess good organisational and time management 
skills, pay close attention to detail, and have effective interpersonal 
skills. Applicants should be willing to undertake travel to work with 
the partners.

Sustainable publiclightingtechnologies can contribute largely to the CO2 
and energy reduction in the 2 Seas area. The aim of the SLIC project is 
to develop and test various methods, tools and concepts (funding, 
affordability, social and traffic issues); and to implement and 
demonstrate proven innovative techniques for energy savings, energy 
efficiency and renewable energy use in publiclighting. These actions aim 
to increase the uptake of sustainable publiclightingconcepts and carbon 
reduction by managing authorities.

The Senior Research Associate will work on the development and 
implementation of a decision support tool to select the best low-carbon 
publiclightingtechnologies. The operational requirements of the tool 
(inputs, outputs, and criteria) will be defined by the pilot-partners 
considering rural, urban, and historic cities.

The Senior Research Associate will be responsible for taking a lead in 
the development and coding of these models and algorithms and production 
of testing. The Senior Research Associate will liaise with the LORA 
Group academics at the University of Portsmouth and the 
industrial/academic partners involved in the project in order to achieve 
this goal. The models and algorithms developed are expected to be of 
sufficient scientific novelty and application worth that they will lead 
to articles published in leading Operational Research scientific 
journals. The Senior Research Associate is also expected to disseminate 
the research findings at project meetings, international conferences, 
and industrial events. The Senior Research Associate will also be 
responsible for supporting the general research activity in LORA and 
encouraging more junior researchers such as PhD students in their research.

Applicants should be willing to undertake travel on a European scale.

The University of Portsmouth is committed to build a culturally diverse 
environment and strongly encourages applications from women and minorities.

Previous applicants are welcome to re-apply.
