PhD Studentship in optimisation at the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne (France) and University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, USA).
Duration: November 2011-2014
Subject: Combinatorial design of disassembly lines
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for a PhD in combinatorial optimisation. This research project will concern the design of disassembly lines. This subject is relatively new in the literature and existing mathematical models do not reflect the industrial reality as well as don’t take into account the stochastic nature of disassembly processes. The goal is to suggest novel adapted mathematical models and to develop an efficient methodology for solving combinatorial optimisation problems appearing when a disassembly line is designed.
The PhD is funded by the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne. The award is for 3 years and covers a stipend of about 20,000€ per annum (net). The candidate will be located both at the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne (France) and University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, USA).
Applicants should have (or be about to finish) a relevant masters degree. Strong knowledge of combinatorial optimisation techniques (mathematical programming, stochastic programming) and programming skills (C++ or Java) are required. Knowledge of discrete event simulation would be an advantage.
How to Apply
Please send a CV + cover letter + master's degree grades or evaluation (even partial) + letter(s) of recommendation to
dolgui@emse.fr and
battaia@emse.fr .
Deadline for Application: Monday 26th September 2011.
