The Centre for Analytics and Management Science (CAMS) at SKEMA Business
School has a vacancy for one full-time post-doctoral researcher in network
modelling and resilience optimization for a period of 15 months.
This position is funded by the MOBILIENCE project supported by the ANR PEPR
IRIMA on climate adaptation, urban resilience, and digital innovation.
MOBILIENCE is a multidisciplinary project that aims to enhance the
resilience of urban mobility networks to flood-induced disruptions based on
the data-models-decision continuum. The candidate will collect data to
develop multimodal network models and simulation frameworks for designing
scenarios and capturing disruption-aware behavior. The obtained models will
serve as the basis for determining stochastic, time-adaptive rerouting
plans designed to keep city-wide mobility functional when large floods
affect multiple corridors and overall network connectivity.
The candidate will work together with Professor David Rey and will be based
at SKEMA Sophia Antipolis campus. The candidate is expected to work on
research activities within the scope of the MOBILIENCE project, including
research publications, conference presentations and workshop participation
with project partner institutions such as Université Gustave Eiffel.
Candidates must have a PhD in operations research, engineering,
mathematics, economics, or computer science. A knowledge of network
modeling and transportation is desirable but not required. Strong data
science and programming skills are required, and the candidate is expected
to have excellent oral and written communication skills in English. A
working knowledge of the French language is appreciated.
