    Employer

As a test and applied research centre in the railway sector, the IRT 
Railenium (http://railenium.eu/fr/) aims to develop, through 
collaborative innovation, the competitiveness of companies as engines of 
growth and jobs. Railenium implements innovation partnerships between 
manufacturers (in the broad sense: infrastructure managers, operators, 
builders and engineers) and academia to ensure a high-level response to 
the challenges of the railway sector. Based in the Hauts-de-France 
region, supported by the State and the railway sector, and acting in 
synergy with the i-Trans competitiveness cluster on land transport, the 
IRT is backed by a network of excellence centres and research laboratories.
Through the SmartRaCon consortium, composed with the German Research 
Centre DLR (leader of the consortium), the Spanish Technology Centre 
CEIT and the British Company NSL, Railenium is an Associate Member on 
Innovation Programme (IP) 2 (Advanced Traffic Management and Control 
Systems) of the Joint Undertaking Shift2Rail.
SmartRaCon is the only partner coming from academia.


    Position and assignments

This 18-month position is part of the X2Rail-4 projects and will be held 
by Railenium for a work with University Gustave Eiffel laboratories. In 
this project, WP8 deals with real-time railway traffic management in 
case of perturbation.
Railenium’s contributions concern the proposal of an optimization 
algorithm to manage traffic on very large networks.

Start  : As soon as possible
Annual gross salary : ~ 35 k€/an
