Sherbrooke, Canada Université de Sherbrooke Full time

**About us**

Université de Sherbrooke is a large business in Sherbrooke, QC J1K2R1. We are professional and innovative.

**In partnership with DISTRIBUTION BIKE CITY INC., Professor Blondin is recruiting a Ph.D. student to pursue research in the optimization of cargos deliveries.**
- Starting date: Fall 2023;
- Funding: 20,000$/year for three years.

The project involves a Post-doctorate Research Fellow and a Ph.D. student.

**Summary of the project**:
From a perspective of reducing greenhouse gases, Distribution Bike City Inc. is currently designing a hybrid bike for parcel deliveries. In urban areas, it is common to consider cargo bikes (CB) for last-mile delivery, i.e., the distribution of parcels within a small radius around a delivery point, such as a small storage facility. Numerous factors affect the CB’s delivery time. An algorithm considering factors such as the mass of the cargo, battery state-of-charge, and the elevation of the road will be a practical tool for successfully incorporating an urban bike-delivery system.

The Ph.D. student is expected to develop an algorithm that provides an optimized delivery schedule of packages.

**Required profile**:

- Ph.D. in applied mathematics, operational research, computer science, data science, or in any other relevant field with math and optimization background;
- Strong expertise in evolutionary computation, multiobjective optimization, computational intelligence, routing problems, combinatorial optimization;
- Solid experience in programming - Open Street Maps and understand Python, Julia, or C++, Matlab;
- English required; French is a plus.

**Application process**:
Flexible Language Requirement:

- French not required

Schedule:

- Monday to Friday

Ability to commute/relocate:

- Sherbrooke, QC J1K2R1: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

**Education**:
