Research Associates at University of Nottingham

Three outstanding candidates are required to support Nottingham's contribution to the development and support of an airport/airspace/airline simulation and decision support system. The School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham have developed several airport optimisation and scheduling systems, some of which are running live at airports in various stages of their lifecycles, as well as having worked on both airspace and airline modelling and optimisation problems. These roles will enhance this portfolio by contributing to the creation of a combined airspace/airport/airline simulation and optimiser for use in evaluating the effects of potential changes to aircraft, airport, and airspace usage.

Applications are invited from highly skilled researchers in Computer Science, Mathematics, Optimisation, Operational Research, or closely related disciplines. The applicants must have or be close to completing a PhD in one of these disciplines. The successful candidates will have a good understanding of mathematical models for real world problems, of decision making/optimisation algorithms/approaches and of object-oriented software development.
