5- Junior Professorship (W1) for Optimization (Tenure-Track) in Darmstadt
(source : M. Théra)

The Graduate School of Computational Engineering (CE) and the Department of
Mathematics at the Technische Universität Darmstadt are inviting applications
or a Junior Professorship (W1) for Optimization (Tenure-Track) in the Department
of Mathematics.

The research field of the candidates should complement the topics represented
in the research group optimization. Candidates should have expertise in at least
one of the following areas:
* Optimization with PDEs
* Discrete-continuous optimal control
* Discrete and combinatorial optimization

The ability for collaboration within the optimization group, to contribute to
interdisciplinary research projects and to cooperate with other fields of science
within the Graduate School of Computational Engineering is required.

The Graduate School CE has been recognized as a center for top-level research and
scientific excellence by the highly competitive "Excellence  Initiative" of the
German Federal and State Governments in 2007 and 2012. Within the framework of
the Graduate School the TU Darmstadt intends to further strengthen its expertise
in the field ofComputational Engineering and in the area of optimization in particular.
The Graduate School is embedded into an excellent environment at TU Darmstadt
consisting of the Computational Engineering Research Center, a variety of Research
and Research Training Groups, Collaborative Research Centers and existing BSc/MSc
study programs in Computational Engineering.

The candidates will have excellent opportunities for interaction within this
stimulating, interdisciplinary environment and are expected to develop a high
quality research program. The Graduate School will support the activities by PhD
scholarships related to each position in order to establish a Junior Research Group.

Applicants should hold an excellent PhD or equivalent qualifications in the above
or a related area. The prerequisites according to §64 HHG (Hessisches Hochschulgesetz)
apply. The doctorate and the experience as post-doctoral researcher should not have
exceeded a total of 6 years. Besides scientific qualification, didactic skills are
essential. Successful candidates are expected to teach classes primarily in German
for all mathematical degrees and at a later stage also for engineering and science
students.

The position has a tenure-track option. It is initially assigned for three years at
W1-level. Given a positive evaluation at the end of the initial period, the appointment
can be extended by three more years. After a successful tenure evaluation the position
is converted to a permanent W2-position.

The Technische Universität Darmstadt intends to increase the number of female faculty
members and encourages female candidates to apply. In case of equal qualifications
applicants with a degree of disability of at least 50 or equal will be given preference.

Qualified applicants should submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae,
research records and teaching records in electronic form to
bewerbung@mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de
quoting the reference number in the subject.

Code. No. 481

Application deadline: January 31, 2015

numerical analysis, and with numerous application areas. In order to
promote academic communication and cooperation between Chinese and
European researchers and practitioners in the field of continuous
optimization, Operations Research Society of China (ORSC) and the
Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) will
organize the Joint ORSC/EURO International Conference 2015 on
Continuous Optimization during May 10-12, 2015. Dr. Xiaodong Hu (the
President of ORSC) and Dr. Gerhard Wäscher (President of EURO) are
co-chairs of the conference, Dr. Yuhong Dai (President of the Math
Programming Subsociety of ORSC) and Dr. Julius Zilinskas (Chair of
EUROPT Managing Board) are the co-chairs of program committee and Dr.
Yanqin Bai (Shanghai University, Shanghai) and Dr. Gerhard-Wilhelm
Weber (Middle East Technical University, Ankara) are the co-chairs of
