On the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences, the Operational Analysis group is in search of to nominate a component time analysis fellow for a hard and fast interval of 12 months from November 2023 for 0.5FTE (17.5 hours per week). There could also be a chance of extension relying on the standard of outcomes achieved, and shorter positions with extra hours would even be thought-about.

The Position

The place is a funded grant to Dr Bismark Singh by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, German Analysis Basis. The chosen candidate would conduct analysis on the interface of concept and utility. 

The undertaking seeks to develop mathematical fashions for allocation of crucial assets throughout pandemics. Populating these situations with real-world information we’d then develop novel algorithms to unravel them. The chosen candidate would disseminate their analysis by publishing in top-tiered journals and presenting at worldwide conferences. They might have an choice of additional collaborating with the grant holder’s collaborators in Germany and within the US.

About you

The chosen candidate is required to have a PhD in operations analysis, arithmetic, laptop science or a associated space. Expertise in discrete optimization, demonstrated by a minimum of one publication, is crucial. Robust familiarity with stochastic optimization methodology, significantly pattern common approximations and two-stage stochastic programming is required. Epidemiological information of pandemics will not be required however is useful. Chosen candidates can be interviewed.

What we are able to give you

On the College of Southampton, PhD college students and Analysis Fellows have entry to a variety {of professional} improvement and abilities coaching for them to turn out to be the following technology of analysis leaders tackling crucial tasks for the long run. We leverage these alternatives to maximise the influence of our analysis. The influence monitor file of the Operational Analysis group is exemplary, with greater than 30 years of expertise in influence actions while leveraging a analysis group with greater than 120 industrial companions, together with protection (DSTL, Boeing Protection UK), aerospace (ESA, Airbus, Rolls Royce), and infrastructure (Heathrow, BT, NHS). We’re the biggest operations analysis (OR) group within the nation. Our QS rating in 2021 was seventh within the UK, and thirty third world-wide for OR. 98% of all mathematical analysis in OR was rated internationally glorious or world-leading by the newest authorities analysis evaluation train. 

We provide unbelievable advantages together with 44 days depart per 12 months on a full-time foundation (inclusive of financial institution holidays and College closure days), glorious household depart preparations (together with maternity, paternity, adoption, parental and carers depart), all kinds of on and off-campus arts and tradition amenities and entry to a variety of workers reductions and affords at native retailers, eating places, and repair suppliers. Additionally, you will have entry to our sports activities advanced, and to Hartley Library primarily based on our Highfield Campus.
