Dear Colleagues, This is a preliminary announcement of a POSTDOCTORAL RA POSITION ( 3 YEAR, FULL TIME) (EPSRC funded) based at the Management School, Edinburgh University. The RA will work alongside Professor Kevin Glazebrook and Dr Phil Ansell (School of Mathematics and Statistics, Newcastle University) on a project whose main aim is to advance understanding of a class of stochastic decision models (restless bandits) which play an important role in a wide range of application areas within Operational Research. These areas include queueing control, inventory management and machine maintenance. The work will also have an applied focus and a strong computational component. The RA will have completed (or be close to having done so) a PhD in Mathematics, Operational Research or Statistics and should have good programming skills. The appointment will be from March 1 2004 (or as soon as possible thereafter). Fuller details will follow, but those interested can contact Professor Glazebrook on 0131-6508075 or at [log in to unmask]
