PhD Special Call: Arc Routing

3 months ago


Aarhus, Denmark Aarhus Universitet, Fuglsangs Allé 4 Full time
Aarhus BSS Graduate School, Aarhus University invites applicants for a PhD Scholarship in Economics in connection with the research project “ComRoute: Combinatorial approach to exact solution of routing problems” within the PhD Programme in Economics and Business Economics.

The position is available from 1. February 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter).

The overall research project

The research project “ComRoute: Combinatorial approach to exact solution of routing problems“ is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

The project and the PhD dissertation should address exact solution and combinatorial studies of the Vehicle Routing Problem, and in particular, the Capacitated Arc Routing problem, with non-standard approaches. These can involve Constraint Programming or Logic-Based Benders Decomposition, and, in particular, combinatorial and network-oriented methods such as those used in this paper: New lower bound for the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem - ScienceDirect

The project falls in the field of Operations Research and is led by Professor Sanne Wøhlk.

Job description

The PhD project is to be carried out as part of the research project. You will work independently as well as with other researchers analyzing problems, designing and implementing algorithms, presenting research results, and writing scientific papers. Doing coursework and teaching is also part of the PhD position. The PhD student´s role in the research project will depend on the chosen candidate and his / her own PhD project description related to the topic of the overall project. Hence, you must write a project description on how you would carry out the research within the frames of the overall project. During the project you will complete a PhD education as described in the rules and regulations for the PhD programme.

If you are interested in the position and want to know more, please contact Sanne Wøhlk (sanw@econ.au.dk) to learn more about the project.

Your qualifications

We are looking for motivated candidates who can work independently as well as be a part of an
international team. The successful candidate is expected to work towards a PhD degree in Economics, with a view to completing a doctorate within the contract period. The candidate will be enrolled in the PhD programme at the Department of Economics and Business Economics, Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University and must meet the conditions defined for admission to the graduate school (see below for link to application guide).

The ideal candidate has experience with Arc Routing Problems with a solid foundation in combinatorial optimization and network problems (matchings, flow problems etc.). In addition, the candidate has knowledge of Logic-Based Benders Decomposition and Constraint Programming as well as solid programming skills. However, we welcome all applicants.

Place of work

Fuglesangs Allé 4, 8210 Aarhus V
