This is an excellent opportunity for a good researcher to join the
Evolutionary Computing Research Group in the School of Computing, to
work on an EPSRC-funded research project to investigate and develop
heuristics that choose heuristics (hyper-heuristics). The aim is to
develop novel methods of tackling important pseudo-optimisation
problems, that perform well and are straightforward to deploy. The
research is being done jointly with a team at the University of
Nottingham. You should have, or be about to gain, a PhD in a relevant
subject, you should be familiar with evolutionary computing ideas and
should be a good programmer in C/C++.
