The Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sull'Intelligenza Artificiale (IDSIA, www.idsia.ch ) invites applications for
1) One postdoc position for 3 years
2) One PhD student position (University of Lugano) for 3+1 years
The positions are funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (Project Title: Approximation Algorithms for Machine Scheduling).
We are looking for outstanding candidates for one postdoc position and one PhD student position with excellent mathematical skills and with a background in computer science or mathematics (preferably with a specialization in one of the following topics: combinatorial optimization, discrete mathematics, approximation algorithms and
computational complexity).
The selected candidates, together with the current group working on approximation algorithms at IDSIA, will try to attack some challenging open problems in scheduling theory.
Annual Postdoc salary: roughly 72,000 CHF (Swiss Francs) per year low taxes.
Annual PhD salary: roughly 40,000 CHF (Swiss Francs) per year, low taxes.
Application deadline: Deadline 15 January, 2008.

Please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Monaldo Mastrolilli (monaldo@idsia.ch) with questions if you are interested in the position.
Amazon’s SCOT The most amazing application of mathematical optimization in logistics What is SCOT? The state of the art in advanced mathematics at the service of the operations management. I like how some important companies implement this scientific development. — Julio Mora Olivares SCOT is an acronym meaning Supply Chain Optimization Technologies . Probably it is the largest and the most complete application of operational research in the field of logistic. In summer 2017, I discovered that Amazon was hiring operational researchers in Italy. This intrigued me enough to start some research on the Internet. I found a plentiful source of information on LinkedIn profiles, where people were sharing their working experience, their goals and successes. I’ve collected all the pieces of information and, with my experience, I was able to reconstruct a whole picture of this project. Human resources First things first: people The team working on SCOT project covers many countr...
