Call for Applications for Scientific Research Grant

 

under the Project “PEERCHAIN”

 

It is now open a call for applications for a Scientific Research Grant for MsC’s under the Project PTDC/SEM-ENR/102869/2008, named PEERCHAIN and financially supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, under the following conditions:

 

1.       Duration and Type of Contract: 12 months of duration, starting on the 1^st of November 2011, in an exclusivity regime, as indicated in the advanced studies for human resources regulation of FCT (http://www.fct.mctes.pt/pt/apoios/formacao/ambitoprojectos) and under the grant regulations of IST.

2.       Job Summary: The aim of this research is to address the design and planning of energy-efficient supply chain using meta-heuristic approaches. The development of the work will follow the subsequent stages:

1^st Stage) The first step includes a literature review, where the candidate will deeply analyze the existent work in this area. The objective is to obtain different meta-heuristics suitable to represent and optimize the problems to be handled.

2^nd Stage) The second step is to develop supply chain representations using these techniques. This may imply development of knowledge, practice and comparison of different methodologies to build up a consistent and representative approach for supply chains.

3^rd Stage) The third stage is to address the proposed problem and solution approaches to account for multi-objective optimization solutions that can be used for the design and planning of such structures.

4^th Stage) The final stage will involve the application of the solution developed to real-world case studies. Two to three industrial cases will be explored and the model applicability will be tested in detail.

3.       The four stages proposed are defined for a one year scholarship renewable.

4.       Scientific Supervisors: Prof. João Miguel Sousa and Prof. Ana Póvoa

5.       Required Education Level: The candidates’ evaluation will be done taking into account the following criteria, in this order of importance:

i)     MsC in Engineering and Industrial Management, Engineering, Mathematics or equivalent;

ii)    Knowledge in Supply Chain Management;

iii)   Knowledge in optimization and modeling techniques;

iv) Knowledge in Programming Languages.

 

6.       Payment amount: Follows the Table of Amounts of Portuguese Research Grants funded by FCT.

7.       Required documentation for application: Applications are accepted in the specific form, and completed by the CV and proof of Education Level. All documents should be sent to cegist@ist.utl.pt.

Application Period: The call for applications is open from 28^th of October 2011 until the 11^th of November 2011.
