Eurobios is the world leader in commercialising the science of complexity and complex adaptive systems. We build sophisticated software in Java using the Eclipse rich client platform. These software products provide robust, powerful optimisation and modelling solutions for our client's logistics, supply chain, inventory management, route optimisation needs. Our solutions produce optimised routes to serve more than 5 million people each day.

These exciting products combine cutting edge algorithms (many powerful complexity science-based techniques including agent-based modelling, learning heuristics, multi-objective optimisation, and data mining) with sophisticated analysis, mapping, graphing capabilities, and integration with 3rd party products such as Google Earth.

At Eurobios, we combine the intellectual excitement of academia with the resources and practical concerns of business and industry. If you would enjoy this creative and fast-paced environment, we welcome your application for employment. We have done some truly exciting and innovative work for clients such as Unilever, Post Denmark, BP, SCA Packaging, Italian Railways, Peugeot, Biffa, Serco, etc.

We are looking for highly intelligent individuals with a good level of scientific and/or software engineering skills. The ideal candidates will of course have everything, but working at Eurobios is a learning experience and we will readily hire individuals with the a good balanced skillset and the right aptitude. The skills we look for are:

- Masters or PhD in relevant scientific area (computer science, or applied area of mathematics, physics, economics)
- Understanding of combinatorial optimisation algorithms and techniques.
- Excellent software engineering skills, preferably in Java.
- An understanding of software design, UML, unit testing.
- Good knowledge of Eclipse RCP, EMF, databases, uDig, BIRT technologies
- Experience with supply chain modelling, route optimisaton and similar problems (far beyond the TSP)

If you can demonstrate 4 or more of these abilities, then please apply! In all positions a crucial skill is the ability to prototype software very quickly and then translate that prototype into production-quality software over a longer period of time. Finally, the ability to work in a team of scientists, developers, and business analysts is essential, as is the ability to communicate complex ideas in a clear, interesting way, to a mixed audience. A small amount of travel will be required, usually in the UK/Europe, and fluency in other European languages is of benefit, but certainly not essential.

All of our team have demonstrated outstanding results working both self-motivated and alone, and the ability to operate efficiently and effectively in a collaborative team environment.

We are a successful, independent, growing company based in London and Paris. We are looking for exceptional candidates to further that success. The current open positions are based in London (although we would be flexible to the opportunity to move to Paris in the future).

Initial salary is in the £25-£38k range, depending on experience and skills, with possible bonuses for outstanding performance. Health insurance and pension plan are also provided.

To apply, please send a cover letter describing why you believe you would make a strong candidate for Eurobios, a CV and a document of no more than two pages describing one recent project of yours in terms that can be understood by the non-expert. We aim to hire 1-2 candidates asap, potentially followed by others later in the year.

No recruitment consultants please. Applications must contain more than just a CV - those without an appropriate cover letter will not be accepted.
