[DMANET] Postdoctoral fellowship in Process Scheduling and Operations Research

The Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE) and Combinatorics and Optimization (C&O) at the University of Waterloo invites applications from qualified candidates for a 16 month postdoctoral fellowship appointment in Process Scheduling and Operations Research under the supervision of professors Ricardo Fukasawa (C&O) and Luis Ricardez-Sandoval (ChE).

The project involves solving large-scale and complex optimization problems related to optimal scheduling of operations in an industrial facility. Desired qualifications are solid expertise in discrete optimization, programming languages and mathematical optimization modeling software. In particular, of great interest is experience in solving large-scale optimization problems, decomposition algorithms, and advanced use of commercial MIP solvers. A Ph.D. degree and evidence of excellence in research are required. Successful applicants are expected to maintain an active program of research. Applications should include a cover letter describing their interest in the position and the candidate's background in the areas, a curriculum vitae and research statement and at least three reference letters.

There is no deadline to apply to this position and candidates will be evaluated until the position is filled. Interested individuals should send their application to Ricardo Fukasawa (rfukasawa@uwaterloo.ca<mailto:rfukasawa@uwaterloo.ca>) and Luis Ricardez-Sandoval (laricard@uwaterloo.ca<mailto:laricard@uwaterloo.ca>). Only those applicants that fit the expected profile for this position will be contacted. The salary for this position will be similar to that offered by the NSERC postdoctoral fellowship program and commensurable with the background and activities to be developed by the applicant.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office (https://uwaterloo.ca/human-rights-equity-inclusion/indigenousinitiatives).

The University values the diverse and intersectional identities of its students, faculty, and staff. The University regards equity and diversity as an integral part of academic excellence and is committed to accessibility for all employees. The University of Waterloo seeks applicants who embrace our values of equity, anti-racism and inclusion. As such, we encourage applications from candidates who have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including applicants who identify as Indigenous peoples (e.g., First Nations, Métis, Inuit/Inuk), Black, racialized, people with disabilities, women and/or 2SLGBTQ+.

The University of Waterloo is committed to accessibility for persons with disabilities. If you have any application, interview or workplace accommodation requests, please contact Ricardo Fukasawa (rfukasawa@uwaterloo.ca<mailto:rfukasawa@uwaterloo.ca>) and Luis Ricardez-Sandoval (laricard@uwaterloo.ca<mailto:laricard@uwaterloo.ca>).

If you have any questions regarding the position, the application process, assessment process, or eligibility, please contact Ricardo Fukasawa (rfukasawa@uwaterloo.ca<mailto:rfukasawa@uwaterloo.ca>) and Luis Ricardez-Sandoval (laricard@uwaterloo.ca<mailto:laricard@uwaterloo.ca>).

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
