The RA and I, as the PI, will work closely with a famous online retailer, aiming to bring some research methodologies into practice. The current post is for six months, from 1st Apr to 30th Sep 2018. However, there is great potential to extend it for another 2 years, or to be hired by the industrial partner afterwards. The salary is around £193.26 per day before tax, depending on age and qualification. The desirable candidate is: 1. A PhD student or PhD degree holder; 2. Eligible to work in the UK for at least 20 hours per week; 3. With background in OR/Optimization, has experience in Transportation/Revenue management/Dynamic programming/Forecasting; 4.
