EURO Doctoral Dissertation Award 2016
The EDDA (EURO Doctoral Dissertation Award) is a EURO instrument. It
consists of a prize that is awarded at each EURO-k conference. The purpose
of the prize is to distinguish an outstanding doctoral dissertation in
Operational Research defended in the countries having an OR society that is
a member of EURO. It will be awarded at the closing session of the 28th
European Conference on Operational Research in Poznań.
We invite you to widely disseminate this announcement.
Eligibility of applications
The EDDA 2016 jury will only consider dissertations in Operational Research
defended between 28 February 2015 (i.e., the deadline for the preceding
edition of the prize) and 31 January 2016. The dissertation must have been
defended in a University located in a member country of EURO. The author of
the dissertation must be a member of a member society of EURO.
To be considered, a dissertation should be nominated by the supervisor of
the thesis (one of them in case of multiple supervisors). The supervisor of
the dissertation is asked to provide the jury with the following
information:
-The text of the dissertation;
-An extended abstract (3 to 5 pages) of the dissertation; this abstract
should be written in English and should include precise keywords;
-An itemization of the candidate's contribution to each co-authored article
if the dissertation contains co-authored articles (i.e., published papers
or unpublished manuscripts);
-If the dissertation is not in English, a paper in English which has been
authored or co-authored by the candidate and which describes the core ideas
of the dissertation. This paper should preferably have been published in or
submitted to an international journal;
-Nomination letters (or reports) from two referees selected by the
dissertation supervisor, supporting the submission and stating their
assessment of why the dissertation should win the award;
-An up-to-date CV of the candidate, including a list of publications.
No nomination will be considered without these items.
Since many doctoral dissertations in OR are defended each year, the jury
would like to remind supervisors that only outstanding pieces of work have
a reasonable chance of winning the award.
Jury
The jury consists of:
Ahti Salo (Finland) - chair
Richard Hartl (Austria)
Bernardo Almada-Lobo (Portugal)
Karl Schmedders (Switzerland)
Emilio Carrizosa (Spain)
Selection process
The selection process consists of two phases.
Phase 1:
The material for each dissertation is studied by several members of the
jury. The jury selects a shortlist of three finalists. In its evaluation,
the jury takes the following criteria into account:
Originality and novelty of the subject;
Pertinence of the subject for OR;
Depth and breadth of the results;
Contributions of the dissertation to the theory and practice of OR;
Applications and/or potential applicability of the results;
Impact on related fields;
Quality of the related publications.
Phase 2:
These 3 finalists are invited to present their contribution in front of the
jury and any other interested participants during a special EDDA session
scheduled at the EURO 2016 conference. The jury selects the final laureate
after the session.

Subject: [DMANET] PhD Position in Market Design and Optimization
(Munich)
Message-ID: <56697D5D.5010708@in.tum.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
The Technical University of Munich (Germany) is looking for a PhD
student or a postdoctoral researcher working in market design led by
Prof. Martin Bichler (http://dss.in.tum.de).
Market design uses mathematical optimization, economic theory, and
experiments to design market rules and institutions. Fundamentally,
market design asks how the design of the rules and regulations of a
market affects the functioning and outcomes of that market. Examples
involve the design of spectrum auction markets, procurement, and
logistics markets. A focus of this position will be the design of
digital advertising exchanges and related bidding strategies.
Applicants for the PhD position should hold a Master's degree in
computer science, operations research, mathematics, or economics.
Applicants for the post-doc position should hold a PhD degree in one of
these disciplines.
Prospective candidates will assist in teaching courses of the group (see
http://dss.in.tum.de). Salary (for both PhD students and post-docs) is
according to German tariff E13 and will be around 45k Euro per year.
Applications should be submitted by email to bichler@in.tum.de.
Please enclose a curriculum vitae including a complete list of
publications and a sample publication (e.g., a Master's thesis).
The submission deadline is January 6, 2016.
