Research Scientist Position
1-year Contract (with possibility of renewal)
Starting Immediately
The Enterprise Integration Laboratory at the University of Toronto is
seeking a research scientist for a 1-year contract (with possibility of
renewal) working on the Intelligent Scheduling Project.
The Intelligent Scheduling Project has developed a constraint-based
scheduling shell that emulates a variety of state-of-the-art scheduling
algorithms. The shell combines generative scheduling and iterative
improvement under the unifying concepts of constraints, textures and
commitments that allows direct comparison of competing techniques.
Description
* Design and implementation of extensions to the scheduling shell.
* Application of new scheduling research to real-world problems driven by
our industrial partners.
* Participation in the research group pursuing active research on
scheduling techniques and methodology.
* Opportunities for a major role in determination of research directions
and extensions.
* Opportunities for publication in leading technical conferences and
journals.
Qualifications
* MSc or PhD in Computer Science or related field.
* 2+ years experience in object-oriented design and development in a
UNIX/C++ environment.
* Experience in any of the following a definite plus: Xwindows interface
programming, lex/yacc programming, constraint-based reasoning and
problem solving, production scheduling, artificial intelligence.
If you meet these requirements and are interested in a challenging position
in a world class research environment, send your curriculum vitae, a copy of
your transcripts, and 2 letters of recommendation by January 15, 1997 to:
Professor Mark Fox
