University's new Program in the Foundations and Applications of
Mathematical Optimization and Data Science (Lehigh MODS). Applications are
welcome immediately. Review of applications will begin on February 1,
2022, and will continue until the position is filled.
The Lehigh MODS program has been established with the perspective that
mathematical optimization is an essential tool throughout the revolutionary
field of data science. The aim of the program is to capitalize on Lehigh's
world-class reputation in mathematical optimization research toward
advances in these and related fields. The incoming postdoctoral fellow
will be joining an interdisciplinary team of researchers working on a range
of topics from optimization theory and algorithms to the application of
modern data science and machine learning tools in areas from energy and
healthcare systems to quantum chemistry.
The Lehigh MODS team is composed of faculty members in Lehigh's departments
of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE), Chemical and Biomolecular
Engineering (ChBE), Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Economics
(Econ), and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE): Frank E. Curtis
(ISE), Aida Khajavirad (ISE), Alberto J. Lamadrid (Econ), Theodore K.
Ralphs (ISE), Srinivas Rangarajan (ChBE), Daniel P. Robinson (ISE), Karmel
S. Shehadeh (ISE), Lawrence V. Snyder (ISE), Parv Venkitasubramaniam (ECE),
Luis Nunes Vicente (ISE), and Sihong Xie (CSE). All Lehigh MODS team
members are also members of Lehigh's Institute for Data, Intelligent
Systems, and Computation (I-DISC), which provides administrative support
for the program.
A successful candidate will have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by Summer
2022. In addition to joining collaborative interdisciplinary projects, the
incoming postdoctoral fellow will be expected to contribute modestly to the
program, such as aiding in the organization of seminars and workshops.
The fellowship position would start at a mutually agreed-upon date. The
term of the position is negotiable and could be 1 or 2 years.
A formal application includes a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research
statement (at most 4 pages), and list of at least 3 references.
Applications should be sent by email to frank.e.curtis@lehigh.edu.
Informal inquiries in advance of a formal application are welcome.
