Applications are invited for a Research Associate to work on AIOLOS: Artificial Intelligence powered framework for OnLine prOduction Scheduling.
This project is an EPSRC funded collaboration between The University of Manchester and University College London (UCL). (https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/V051008/1). It is to deliver a next generation autonomous online scheduling framework in response to different types of disruptions in the chemical manufacturing industry using machine learning techniques.
You will be responsible for the evaluation of energy consumption for industrial data reconciliation and preparation of process scheduling models, quantification of different types of uncertainty and the development of data-driven autonomous techniques for online scheduling. You will collaborate seamless with academics from UCL for such development. You will also work closely with industrial partners to test the new online scheduling framework in a practical context and demonstrate the benefit.
You will have, or be about to obtain, a relevant PhD (or equivalent) in process systems engineering, computer science, operations research, industrial engineering, or closely related field together with an excellent track record of international publications. Examples of field interests include advanced planning and scheduling, metaheuristics, machine learning, mathematical modelling, and optimisation. Research experience in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and optimisation are particularly preferred.
