Four PhD scholarships within Australian Research Council Future Fellowship "Bio-inspired computing for problems with chance constraints" available

The Optimisation and Logistics group at the

School of Computer Science,
The University of Adelaide, Australia

has four scholarships available for PhD students working
within the ARC Future Fellowship "Bio-inspired computing for problems with chance constraints" starting in 2021.

Scholarships are for the duration of 3 years with a possible extension of 6 months.
There are no teaching duties, but students are able to take up additional paid casual teaching work during their candidature and get involved in teaching courses within Computer Science.

We are seeking an excellent candidate with a master or honours in computer science
mathematics, or statistics.
The successful applicant should carry out theoretical or applied work on 
evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation, and related bio-inspired computing methods for problems with stochastic constraints
Candidates having experiences in the field of randomised methods, statistics and/or 
computational complexity of bio-inspired computation are highly encouraged to apply.

Currently, around 20 researchers
from several nationalities work in the Optimisation and Logistics group.
The group collaborates with several of the major research
institutions in Europe and the U.S. and has high international visibility.

Applications (including curriculum vitae, IELTS test results, list of publications if 
applicable, list of university grades, and names of two references with their
e-mail addresses) must be sent by email in PDF format with subject line 
"PhD application: Bio-inspired computing for problems with chance constraints" to Prof Frank Neumann
(frank.neumann@adelaide.edu.au). Positions remain open until filled and applicants are encouraged to send their application documents as early as possible.
