The Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) located at Amsterdam Science Park invites applications from Outstanding researchers to its Post-doc position in the area of discrete and continuous optimization.
The candidate will be expected to perform independent research and publish in high-quality conferences and journals. There are no teaching obligations at CWI, though the candidate may be asked to help with the organization of reading groups and seminars. A principal goal of this project is to develop a theory capable of explaining the performance of the many techniques used to solve integer programs, such as branch & bound, cutting planes, fast LP solving, and rounding heuristics. Complementary to this goal, the project aims to make progress on related fundamental open problems in the context of LP, IP, and discrepancy theory.
Duration: A full-time employment for 2 years.
Salary
- A gross monthly salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement for Dutch Universities.
- A free access to high-quality training programs on general skills, didactics and topics related to research and valorization.
