We are looking for _*two*_ PhD students who will work on a topic at the intersection of *Operations Research* and *Energy Systems: *_*energy systems models’ transparency*_*.* By using techniques from multiple OR and ML fields (sensitivity analysis, parametric optimization, machine learning – including Large Language Models) you will explore how models can be more transparent – about their hypotheses (and their impact), about their results and about their quality. You will work on both the theoretical foundations of transparency in *large LP* and *MILP* optimization models but also apply your results on existing, real-life models and related software already having a large impact. This is a fully-funded 3-year contract, based on a recently accepted Belgian Energy Transition Fund project. You will work in a growing team specialized in this subject. The two PhD candidates recruited via this call will have two separate but related subjects and will work together during the project. *Position* * _3-year_, fully-funded contract at the Montefiore Institute, University of Liège, located in Liège, Belgium. * _Competitive salary_ * Opportunity to collaborate with industrial/public partners and to present your research at international conferences *Profile* * A Master’s degree in Engineering (Applied Mathematics or Computer Science), Mathematics, Computer Science or similar. * Interest in optimization in general – basic training in linear and discrete optimization. * Basic programming skills are a strong requirement, and good programming skills are a plus. * English (written & oral) is mandatory. * Speaking French is a plus. *Practical* Apply by sending an email to Pr Quentin Louveaux (q.louveaux@uliege.be), Pr Damien Ernst (dernst@uliege.be), Dr Guillaume Derval (gderval@uliege.be) and Dr Bardhyl Miftari (bmiftari@uliege.be), containing: * Your CV * A (short) motivation letter, describing your research interests * A link to your Master’s thesis * Academic transcript (results) of your last two academic years * You can submit anytime between now and September 15th, 2025. We may select the candidates before this date – submit your candidature as soon as possible if you are interested.
