Second round deadline: *30 June 2016*

EPSRC-funded *PhD studentships* in Operational Research (OR): Optimisation,
Forecasting and Simulation. Stipend £17k to £19k (plus fees paid)

Are you finishing your bachelor's or master's degree in a subject with
substantial quantitative content? Do you hope to get excellent results? Do
you want to develop solutions to challenging, real-world problems which can
make a difference to business and society?

The Department of Management Science is part of Lancaster University
Management School, the most research-intensive business school in the UK
(REF, 2014). The department houses one of the largest and most influential
OR groups in Europe.

We are looking to recruit up to *four* researchers who will be:

+ excellent doctoral students with a strong quantitative background
(including mathematics, physics, computer science and engineering) and

+ who satisfy the UK residency requirement for full EPSRC support (usually
met by EU students whose undergraduate studies were in the UK).

for PhD study in any area of the department's OR research portfolio.
Successful candidates with a suitable master's degree will be awarded a 3.5
year research studentship while those with only a bachelor's degree will be
admitted to a 1+3 year programme which incorporates an initial year of
research training (MRes). As part of your doctoral training, you will be
able to access a wide range of opportunities for personal and skills
development, including association with Lancaster's centre for doctoral
training in statistics and OR (STOR-i).

You can access details of some of the areas in which doctoral supervision
is available by clicking on the following links:

- *Optimisation* :
http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lums/management-science/research/groups/optimisation/

- *Forecasting *:
http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lums/management-science/research/groups/forecasting/

- *Simulation* :
http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lums/management-science/research/groups/simulation/

Your application should be by covering letter, in which you should indicate
which area is of interest to you (and why) and some possible topics for
research, along with a full CV. We shall then contact short-listed
candidates to put them in touch with potential supervisors for the
development of a fuller research proposal.

For more information go to our webpage (
http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lums/management-science/research/phd/) and/or
contact Gay Bentinck: e-mail g.bentinck@lancaster.ac.uk or phone 01524
592408. Applications will be processed as soon as they are received. The
appointment process will include an interview.

Second round deadline: 30 June 2016

Optimization at WCCI 2016 & GECCO 2016

Dear colleagues,

We are running two competitions this year in the major EC conferences
(WCCI, GECCO). Submission deadline is still open for both venues *01 July
2016*.

We highly encourage participation in both competitions. A common platform
is used to compare different algorithms with various evaluation measures.

More details can be found bellow:

*WCCI 2016: Competition on Niching Methods for Multimodal Optimization*
Web: http://www.epitropakis.co.uk/cec16-niching/competition/
DEADLINE: *01 July 2016*

The aim of the competition is to provide a common platform that encourages
fair and easy comparisons across different niching algorithms. The
competition allows participants to run their own niching algorithms on 20
benchmark multimodal functions with different characteristics and levels of
difficulty.

*GECCO 2016 Competition on Niching Methods for Multimodal Optimization*
Web: http://www.epitropakis.co.uk/gecco2016/
DEADLINE: *01 July 2016*

In this instance of the competition, we continue the successful 2013 and
2015 competitions and rely on an unchanged problem set and similar
measures. However, we try out two new aspects regarding the evaluation
criteria of the participants:

+ we are including information on the resources (time, function
evaluations) needed to find the global optima, not only the fraction of
successes within a given time period (number of evaluations), and
+ we take into account the size of the final solution set, and reward small
sets that mostly consist of the sought optima only.
Overview

The competitions are supported by the newly established IEEE CIS Task force
on Multi-modal Optimization (http://www.epitropakis.co.uk/ieee-mmo/)

We are looking forward for your participation!

>From the organizers, Michael.
