*Optimization, Prescriptive Analytics, and Decision Making under Uncertainty*
*Position:* We are seeking to recruit one or two Ph.D. candidates to
work under the supervision of Dr. Miguel Lejeune starting in Fall
2024. The selected candidate(s) will join the Ph.D. program of the
Decision Sciences Department of the George Washington School of
Business.
Contingent on research interests, the selected student(s) will have
the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Lejeune's research group
involving faculty, postdoctoral students, and other Ph.D. students
from the School of Engineering (Electrical and Computer Engineering)
and the Business School (Decision Sciences).
The selected Ph.D. students(s) will work on projects related to
optimization, decision-making under uncertainty, and prescriptive and
predictive analytics, and with applications to energy, health care,
and logistics. Ongoing and possible applied research projects would
involve the use of drones to deliver emergency medical supplies (drug
overdoses, cardiac arrests), the use of mobile power sources to
restore and reinforce the resilience of power grids, or the design of
preventive models to hedge against the risk of wildfires.
*Support:* The funding will cover full tuition fees, monthly salary,
and health benefits for five years, assuming that the student(s)
fulfill(s) the requirements of the Ph.D. program.
*Eligibility and Conditions:* The candidate(s) is/are expected to have
a degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Business
Analytics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Sciences, or
closely related discipline, and should be interested in optimization,
operations research, analytics, and/or applied mathematics.
Applicants with computer programming (coding) skills, strong interest
in optimization, and/or research experience will be given higher
priority.
*Application:* Prospective candidates can contact Dr. Lejeune
(mlejeune@gwu.edu) for more information about the position.
Applications should be submitted by January 10, 2024 at:
