Here is an opportunity to gain a permanent position at lecturer/senior
lecturer/reader level and to become a co-founder of the new MOSAIC
(Metaheuristics Optimisation Scheduling And Intelligent Computing)
research group, which will come into being on the 1st March 2002, with
the arrival of Professor Peter Cowling at the University of Bradford.
The MOSAIC research group's aim will be to develop new modelling,
optimisation and decision support technologies, which bridge the gap
between the theory and practice of optimisation. Specific research areas
are:
- The investigation, modelling and solution of real-world scheduling and
optimisation problems in partnership with commercial, scientific and
governmental collaborators
- The investigation of tailored and general-purpose models, heuristics,
metaheuristics and evolutionary algorithms, and hyperheuristics.
- The development of flexible and easy-to-use decision support
technologies (e.g. graphical user interfaces)
- Other areas which will facilitate the future application of
optimisation and decision support
Note that the closing date for applications is *Friday 22nd February*.

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Reader in the Department of Computing, and
