Open doctoral researcher position in the University of Jyvaskyla

admin

Hello,

Are you interested in extending your knowledge in optimization to support decision making with multiobjective optimization in real applications and preparing a PhD thesis on this? We are looking for a motivated doctoral researcher to join the internationally recognized Multiobjective Optimization Group (https://optgroup.it.jyu.fi/) at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland. In the group, we specialize in interactive multiobjective optimization methods and their implementations inspired by real applications. We work with international collaborators and our focus is on supporting decision makers in directing the search for the most preferred solution utilizing their domain expertise.

We offer an inspiring and international research environment on the beautiful campus next to a lake and aim at high quality and impact in our research.

The open position is part of a project and the tasks would be about developing new interactive multiobjective optimization methods to support industrial decision makers navigating complex trade-offs in uncertain, volatile energy markets. The research on multiobjective optimization is at the intersection of mathematical optimization, decision analytics, Bayesian uncertainty modelling and visual decision support.

To be a successful candidate, we expect firm knowledge of optimization methods and preferably knowledge of various multiobjective optimization methods as well as strong motivation in supporting decision making under uncertainty with interactive methods. Solid programming skills are needed since contributing to the development of the open‑source software framework DESDEO (https://github.com/industrial-optimization-group/DESDEO, implemented in Python) is expected as part of the research. Besides interactive multiobjective optimization, the doctoral researcher will work on at least one of the following topics: uncertainty modelling and Bayesian belief elicitation, explainable multiobjective optimization  and adversarial and probabilistic risk analysis.

For the actual call for applications and further information, see

https://ats.talentadore.com/apply/doctoral-researcher-in-the-multiobjective-optimization-group/m6rax7 (the link to submit the application is at the top of the page).

If you can demonstrate that you meet the expectations and are interested in this unique opportunity, please submit your application, where you articulate how you meet the described needs as well as your motivation. Please, act as soon as possible but before June 15, 2026 at the latest.

With best regards, Kaisa Miettinen

Diplomityöntekijä, Koiviston Auto, Helsinki

admin

Haemme diplomityöntekijää Helsinkiin

Koiviston Auto on Suomen suurin linja-autoyritys. Liikennöimme kaupunkiliikennettä kahdeksalla eri
kaupunkiseudulla Helsingistä Rovaniemelle sekä kaukoliikennettä OnniBus.com-nimellä.

Sähköbussit yleistyvät nopeasti kaupunkiliikenteessä. Niiden tehokkaaseen käyttöön liittyy paljon
suunnitteluongelmia akkukapasiteetin vuoksi: sähköbusseilla ei yleensä pysty liikennöimään koko
päivää, vaan akkuja on ladattava kesken päivän. Ajoneuvojen sähkönkulutus ja akkujen latausteho
vaihtelee useiden tekijöiden mukaan, mm. lämpötila ja matkustajamäärä. Sähkön hinta vaihtelee
myös jatkuvasti ja akkujen lataamisen ajankohdalla on merkittävä vaikutus kustannuksiin. Lisäksi
bussien kalustokierto vaikuttaa suoraan kuljettajien työvuoroihin, joissa on omat lainsäädäntöön
perustuvat ajo- ja lepoaikarajoitteensa.

Etsimme diplomityöntekijää tekemään diplomityötä sähköbussien optimaalisesta
tuotannonsuunnittelusta. Systeemianalyysin opinnot antavat erinomaisen pohjan diplomityön
tekemiselle.

Työ tehtäisiin työsuhteessa Koiviston Autolle. Työtä voi tehdä joko koko- tai osa-aikaisesti opintojesi
tilanteesta riippuen. Työpaikan sijainti on Ruskeasuon bussivarikolla Helsingissä (Nauvontie 3). Työtä
voi tehdä myös hybridinä.

Lisätietoja antaa tarjous- ja suunnittelujohtaja Arttu Kuukankorpi, p. 040 5052226,
