SINTEF Digital is searching for

*Postdoctoral candidates / Research scientists at SINTEF Optimization*

The Optimization group at SINTEF Digital is looking for professional and 
dedicated postdoctoral candidates. Highly qualified applicants may be 
offered a permanent research scientist position.

The Optimization group at SINTEF Digital currently consists of 17 
researchers and software engineers. It is one of eight groups within the 
Department of Mathematics and Cybernetics. For the past 25 years, we 
have been developing optimization methods, software prototypes, 
libraries, and components. We have built expertise at an international 
level and have a good publication record. The group conducts basic and 
applied research on discrete optimization, mainly within planning, 
scheduling, routing, sequencing, design, and timetabling. Our 
application areas include transportation, healthcare, sports, energy, 
and construction. As requirements vary regarding solution accuracy and 
response time, the group covers the full range of methods for solving 
discrete optimization problems: exact methods, decomposition, as well as 
approximation methods based on metaheuristics or matheuristics.

We develop our own software libraries that have been refined and 
extended over many years and contain a variety of solution methods, but 
we also utilize commercial solvers. Our results are exploited, either 
through existing solution vendors, spin-off companies, or directly by 
the end users. Our revenues come from users in industry and the public 
sector, often supported by Norwegian or EU funding agencies. The group 
is internationally renowned both in industry and academia. We publish 
actively, also in top level scientific journals.

We are looking for candidates that will strengthen our group. The 
candidate should be highly motivated for applied research, not only by 
scientific advances and publication, but also by the opportunity to see 
the results being put into practice and making a difference. SINTEF's 
vision is "Technology for a better society". Most of our projects are in 
direct collaboration with key stakeholders in industry and the public 
sector, but we also have basic research projects with less user involvement.

We have recently acquired several large projects in railway optimization 
and air traffic management. This is currently our focus for recruitment, 
but we encourage candidates with background in other application areas 
to apply.

*Qualifications*

We are looking for candidates with a PhD in applied mathematics, 
operations research, computer science, or a related field. Fluency in 
English is expected, along with good communication and presentation 
skills. Moreover, you should be curious, innovative, have a proactive 
attitude, and be a good team player.

*Expertise*

We seek candidates with expertise in several of the following areas:

  * Discrete optimization
  * Railway optimization, optimization in air traffic management.
    Expertise in other application areas may compensate.
  * Programming. Candidates should have good programming skills,
    preferably in C#. Experience in software development in teams is an
    advantage.

*We offer*

·Challenging research tasks in a team of internationally renowned experts.

  * A good work environment with skillful, experienced, and creative
    colleagues.
  * Well-established national and international scientific and
    industrial networks.
  * A good social climate, a large degree of autonomy, and flexible
    working hours.
  * Competitive salary (subject to qualifications).
  * Social benefits (pension plan, insurance, possibility for
    kindergarten, etc.).

*Duration*

The duration of postdocs will normally be two years, with the intention 
to make it a permanent position if all parties are interested. Highly 
qualified applicants may be offered a permanent research scientist 
position from the start. Start date: as soon as possible, by February 1 
2020.

Applications are due September 30, 2019. Only electronic applications 
through our web site 
<https://candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationInit.aspx?cid=1131&ProjectId=144368&DepartmentId=18961&MediaId=5> 
will be processed. Email applications will be ignored.
