The positions are in operations research within the CIRRELT

(www.cirrelt.ca [1]) and the department of Operations and Decision

Systems of the Faculty of Administration Sciences of Université Laval

(Quebec City, Canada). All projects are related to logistics

optimization and to distribution problems. Hence, a good understanding

of vehicle routing problems and its variants, and of optimization and

implementation skills is required. The positions are under the

supervision of professors Jean-François Côté and/or Jacques Renaud

and/or Leandro C. Coelho.

  Full and partial funding is available and is commensurate with

qualifications for up to 4 years. All accepted candidates are eligible

to partial funding

[2]) and the supervisors will offer extra scholarships for excellent

students. The position does not include any teaching obligations

(optional teaching would be paid separately).

  The candidate should have (or expect to have shortly) an excellent

master degree in operations research, mathematics, computer science or a

closely related area. A successful candidate has profound knowledge in

(computational) mathematical optimization (in particular mixed integer

programming) in theory and practice. Solid implementation skills are a

must. The candidate will work on large-scale mathematical optimization

problems arising in logistics and transportation networks.

Collaborations with international partners is expected.

  Université Laval is a French-speaking university, and most courses are

offered only in French.
