Phd Position in Operations Research at Erasmus

3 weken geleden

Rotterdam, Nederland Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam Voltijd

**Introduction**:
The NWO M-grants in the Science domain are intended for realising curiosity-driven, fundamental research of high quality and/or scientific urgency. The M-grant offers researchers the possibility to elaborate creative and risky ideas and to realise scientific innovations that can form the basis for the research themes of the future.

Start date of the position is ideally 1 September 2024, but no later than 1 November 2024.

**Job description**:
The capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is a classical optimization problem in Operations Research, and lies at the heart of many extended variants that incorporate considerations encountered in practice. The research project focusses on the CVRP, because theoretical and computational results typically carry over to its variants.

In this research project, four different approaches are explored to find computationally attractive compact formulations.
The goal is to develop new exact algorithms for the CVRP, and to provide theoretical insights that provide handholds for future research by the scientific community in the pursuit of exact algorithms that can be applied in practice.

**Job requirements**:
Erasmus School of Economics’ admission requirements are:

- A background in, but not limited to, operations research, computer science, mathematics, or industrial engineering. Please upload your bachelor’s and master’s degree.
- MPhil or Research Master's degree is preferred
- Excellent study results for both the bachelor’s and master’s degree. Please upload your transcript of records for the bachelor’s and master’s degree.
- Interest in and strong motivation for scientific research explained in a statement of purpose.
- GRE test is required for all entering PhD students. Valid GRE (revised) General Test results are required from all PhD applicants (all 3 sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and Analytical Writing). Successful applicants typically perform among the top-10% of test-takers on the quantitative part of the GRE; applicants with a Q score below 160 will not be considered. The results should not be older than 5 years.
- Excellent command of English. Applicants whose native language is not English are therefore required to demonstrate English proficiency by:

- proof that the language of instruction of their entire university education (bachelor and master programme) was English, or
- scoring at least 100 on the TOEFL iBT test or 7.5 on the IELTS test.
- Two (academic) reference letters, preferably from a thesis supervisor or research project supervisor
- Curriculum Vitae

In addition to the general requirements, this PhD project expects you to have:

- Advanced knowledge of Mixed Integer Linear Programming.
- Advanced knowledge of Combinatorial Optimization.
- Advanced computer programming skills preferably in, but not limited to, C, C#, C++ or JAVA.
- Experience with using Mixed Integer Linear Programming solvers such as CPLEX or Gurobi.

**Employment conditions and benefits**:
We offer you an internationally oriented and varied job in an enthusiastic team, with excellent working conditions in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO-NU).

The start date of this position is (ideally) 01-09-2024 and you will be based at Campus Woudestein in Erasmus School of Economics (ESE). This position is for 1 fte - 1 fte. The salary is dependent on your experience and knowledge and ranges from a minimum of € 2.770 to a maximum of € 3.539 gross per month (Scale PhD) on a fulltime basis (38 hours), in accordance with the CAO-NU.

Everything else we offer you, you can find below
- Everything you need for a **good work-life balance**: the option to work from home in consultation with your manager, 41 days of paid leave with a 40 hour contract, 8% holiday pay and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus, and a significant discount on a subscription for our on-campus sports centre
- Time and space for your development in the broadest sense: development days and a personal career budget, foreign exchange opportunities with most costs paid by EUR, and free access to our university library.
- Good pension with ABP that EUR contributes 2/3rds towards, discounts on various collective insurances with Zilveren Kruis Achmea, Loyalis, and Allianz, and compensation for travel, working from home and home internet use.
- Are you currently combining your job with parenthood, or do you want to do so in the future? EUR offers partially paid parental leave and fully paid additional birth leave for partners, and our campus features a daycare.
- Moving to the Netherlands for your job with EUR? Then you may be eligible for the 30%-ruling if you meet the requirements of the Belastingdienst (Dutch tax agency), and with our Dual Career Programme we will also help your partner find the right job for them.
