Diplomityöntekijä, Koiviston Auto, Helsinki

Haemme diplomityöntekijää Helsinkiin

Koiviston Auto on Suomen suurin linja-autoyritys. Liikennöimme kaupunkiliikennettä kahdeksalla eri
kaupunkiseudulla Helsingistä Rovaniemelle sekä kaukoliikennettä OnniBus.com-nimellä.

Sähköbussit yleistyvät nopeasti kaupunkiliikenteessä. Niiden tehokkaaseen käyttöön liittyy paljon
suunnitteluongelmia akkukapasiteetin vuoksi: sähköbusseilla ei yleensä pysty liikennöimään koko
päivää, vaan akkuja on ladattava kesken päivän. Ajoneuvojen sähkönkulutus ja akkujen latausteho
vaihtelee useiden tekijöiden mukaan, mm. lämpötila ja matkustajamäärä. Sähkön hinta vaihtelee
myös jatkuvasti ja akkujen lataamisen ajankohdalla on merkittävä vaikutus kustannuksiin. Lisäksi
bussien kalustokierto vaikuttaa suoraan kuljettajien työvuoroihin, joissa on omat lainsäädäntöön
perustuvat ajo- ja lepoaikarajoitteensa.

Etsimme diplomityöntekijää tekemään diplomityötä sähköbussien optimaalisesta
tuotannonsuunnittelusta. Systeemianalyysin opinnot antavat erinomaisen pohjan diplomityön
tekemiselle.

Työ tehtäisiin työsuhteessa Koiviston Autolle. Työtä voi tehdä joko koko- tai osa-aikaisesti opintojesi
tilanteesta riippuen. Työpaikan sijainti on Ruskeasuon bussivarikolla Helsingissä (Nauvontie 3). Työtä
voi tehdä myös hybridinä.

Recruitment: Post-Doctoral Researcher, Faculty of Information Technology, University of Jyväskylä

We are recruiting a post-doctoral researcher for 1-3 years to work at the Faculty of Information Technology (https://www.jyu.fi/en/it), University of Jyvaskyla (https://www.jyu.fi/en) in Finland as a member of the Multiobjective Optimization Group (http://www.mit.jyu.fi/optgroup) in close collaboration with the JYU.Well community https://www.jyu.fi/en/research/jyuwell-school-of-wellbeing/jyuwell-research-spearheads/jyuwell-profiling-area-2023-2028. The application deadline is February 21, 2024.

For more information, see

Applications are to be submitted via the online application system (links to the application system are at the top of the above-mentioned webpages).


The focus of the recruited post-doctoral researcher will be devoted to applications of wellbeing with the help of methods of multiobjective optimization and decision analytics. An example of our publications giving an example of the field is https://doi.org/10.1080/07853890.2021.2024876. If you are recruited in this postdoctoral position, you will have excellent collaboration networks with both experts in the Multiobjective Optimization Group and the JYU.Well community and access to e.g. various types of data. Our mission is not only to understand data and make forecasts based on data but make optimized recommendations and decisions based on the data. In making good decisions, we take multiple conflicting objective functions into account simultaneously – thus we support a decision maker or decision makers in finding the best balance among the conflicting objective functions by augmenting data with domain expertise of decision makers. This is a unique opportunity to work with problems that really matter.

We welcome new, talented members to the Multiobjective Optimization Group. The Group works on multiobjective optimization as well as decision/prescriptive analytics and data-driven/data-enabled optimization. We develop methods for supporting decision making in the presence of multiple conflicting objective functions. Therefore, knowledge of multiobjective optimization is required. To be a bit more specific, the group develops methods as well as software and works with various applications of multiobjective optimization. We specialize on interactive multiobjective optimization methods (both scalarization-based and evolutionary methods and their hybrids). We are interested in supporting a single decision maker as well as groups of decision makers. We also develop visualizations and apply artificial intelligence, machine learning tools and explainability as a part of the decision support processes. We are developing an open source software framework DESDEO for interactive multiobjective optimization methods (desdeo.it.jyu.fi). Furthermore, we are actively involved in a thematic research area called Decision Analytics utilizing Causal Models and Multiobjective Optimization (DEMO, jyu.fi/demo) where the objective is to support data-driven decision making. The open position is connected to this – developing tools for data-driven or data-enabled decision support with e.g. wellbeing, health and rehabilitation as examples of applications.

The postdoctoral researcher’s duties focus on internationally high-level research in the focus areas of the JYU.Well profiling area 2023-2028 | University of Jyväskylä. The duties include supporting the interdisciplinary development of wellbeing research and activities, and participating in acquiring external funding. The postdoctoral researcher is also expected to participate in societal interaction together with the JYU.Well research community, supervising students and in teaching within their own areas of expertise. The amount of teaching duties is rather small. Rather recently graduated researchers with a doctoral degree relevant to these areas are most welcome to apply! For more, see the call for applications.

Data Scientist, Operations Research, Wolt

Wolt is looking for Data Scientist, Operations Research to drive improvements on our logistics optimization process.

Logistics is one of the more complex parts of Wolt’s business and is a crucial building block of Wolt’s technology platform. Our logistics platform is responsible for courier task allocation, and generating delivery estimates that our customers, couriers, and merchants see. The logistics platform is being developed by a cross-functional team and by a mix of Data Scientists, Optimization Algorithm Developers, and Backend Engineers. It connects Courier Partners to tasks through our in-house route optimization service, which in turn relies on the delivery estimates that we generate for each step of the delivery process. All the different parts of the system come together to automatically manage customer expectations and delivery efficiency.

You would work as an embedded Data Scientist, Operations Research in the Logistics Optimization team, which owns the route optimizer, and the delivery estimates – your focus would be on the optimizer. You would have an impact on Wolt’s overall business as a key player in envisioning and finding new ways to increase our delivery efficiency while keeping our customers happy with accurate estimates, and keeping our couriers engaged with a steady stream of tasks. As an operations research expert, you would find where potential problems lie through data analysis and would work with the rest of the team to get proposed changes implemented. You’d then plan and implement the live logistics experiments needed to verify the hypotheses, and understand the business impact of the changes.
