    Dear Colleagues, 

    The research group OASYS  (Optimization and Analytics for Sustainable EnergY Systems) at the University of Málaga (Málaga, Spain) is currently looking for talented and entrepreneurial candidates to fill a PhD position and a postdoctoral position on the topic "Advanced Analytics to Empower the Small Flexible Prosumption of Electricity."

    Both positions are linked to an Excellent Science project awarded by the European Research Council through an ERC Starting Grant.

    The PhD candidate must possess a master degree in computer science, control/electrical engineering, applied mathematics and/or statistics, engineering, or equivalent academic qualifications. Preference will be given to candidates with skills in statistical and mathematical modelling, big data management techniques, optimization and software development. Knowledge of data-handling and programming software (Python, R, Matlab, etc.) is an advantage. Furthermore, good command of the English language (orally and in writing) is clearly a plus.

    The Postdoctoral Researcher is expected to possess a PhD or equivalent, preferably in operations research, control engineering, computer science, mathematics, or statistics. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background in optimization theory and mathematical programming. The ability to code and solve large-scale optimization problems using programming languages like Python and optimization solvers like Cplex on High-Performance Computing Facilities is clearly an advantage. Excellent command of the English language, both orally and in writing is required.  

    The appointments involve a competitive salary, healthcare and social security insurance.

    Detailed information on the positions we are offering and on the application procedure can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/jnmmgo/recruitment 

    Applications should be received no later than December 3, 2017.

    Best regards,
