The role
The successful appointee will carry out high level research on an Australian Research Council funded project led by Dr Barbara Maenhaut (The University of Queensland). The project involves collaboration with industry partner Jeppesen Rail Logistics and Terminals in research on the development of time-dependent networks for use in algorithm testing and software design.
The person
Applicants should possess at least a research Masters degree, and preferably a PhD, in mathematics or computing, and have the necessary skills and background to carry out original research in applied discrete mathematics. The successful appointee will work in collaboration with Dr Barbara Maenhaut and staff at Jeppesen Rail Logistics and Terminals to identify particular configurations in existing public transportation networks that cause difficulties for existing models and algorithms, and then develop tools to create virtual networks that contain specified configurations.
