looking for a professional and dedicated postdoctoral
candidate. The candidate will be working within the basic
research project “Design and Experimental Analysis of Novel
Integrated Optimization Methods” (AXIOM) funded by the
Research Council of Norway. Keywords are discrete
optimization, matheuristics, cooperative methods, parallel
and heterogeneous computing, GPU, vehicle routing, inventory
routing. The duration of the position will be two years,
with the intention to make it a permanent position if all
parties are interested. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

lang="EN-US">The Optimization group currently consists of 17
researchers and software engineers. It is one of eight
groups within the Department of Mathematics and Cybernetics.
For the past 20 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 for planning,
scheduling, routing, sequencing, and timetabling. Our main
market areas are transportation: road, railway, maritime,
aviation; healthcare; sports; energy; and finance. We
develop our own software libraries that have been refined
over many years and contain a range of different solution
methods (exact and approximate), but we also utilize
commercial solvers. We commercialize 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

two partners: 1) Department of Industrial Economics and
Technology Management at NTNU (project owner) 2) Molde
University College. Collaboration with world leading
research groups from Portugal, Canada, USA, Italy, Brazil is
an integral part. The main objective is to design novel
integrated methods for solving complex discrete optimization
problems. Expected results are innovative methods that
combine elements from exact methods and metaheuristics and
utilize cooperative search, task parallelism, and data
parallelism. AXIOM has four work packages (WPs). WP1 starts
from exact methods and analyzes how these methods can be
extended and improved using heuristics. WP2 investigates how
exact methods are best utilized within a metaheuristic
framework. WP3 develops cooperative search methods that
fully utilize all processing units of modern PCs and are
flexible and scalable. In WP4 experimental data are
collected, analyzed, and synthesized into new knowledge and
understanding. The candidate will mainly work within WP3. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
