PhD Position in Algorithmic and Structural Properties of box-TDI Polyhedra (Computer Science, Combinatorial Optimization)

A PhD position is available in Computer Science at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, focusing on the algorithmic and structural properties of box-TDI polyhedra. The project, supervised by Professor Qasim Malik (Walailak University) in collaboration with Roland Grappe (Université Paris Dauphine-PSL), lies at the intersection of polyhedral combinatorics and combinatorial optimization. The research will investigate the diameters and structural aspects of a specific class of polyhedra that arise in discrete optimization, offering opportunities to contribute to both theoretical and applied aspects of mathematical optimization. Applicants should have a strong background in computer science, mathematics, or related fields, with particular interest in combinatorics, optimization, or discrete mathematics. A master's degree is typically required, and candidates should possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Proficiency in English is expected for effective communication and research dissemination. The position is based at the Laboratoire d’Analyse et de Modélisation de Systèmes d’Aide à la Décision (LAMSADE) at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, a leading research center in decision support systems, combinatorial optimization, and applied mathematics. The lab offers a vibrant academic environment with access to a network of international collaborators and a range of research projects in related areas. Funding details are not specified in the announcement. Prospective candidates are encouraged to consult the LAMSADE website or contact the supervisors directly for information regarding financial support, stipends, or tuition coverage. The application process involves reviewing the project details on the lab's website and reaching out to Professor Qasim Malik for further discussion. Additional projects and opportunities can be explored via the provided links.
