Subject: [DMANET] Postdoctoral Position in Robust Optimization
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 07:08:30 +0000
From: Khaled ElBassioni <khaled.elbassioni at ku.ac.ae>

Applicants are invited for a postdoctoral position as part of a research 
project within the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer 
Science at Khalifa University of Science and Technology, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Job Description:

The project aims to consider continuous/discrete optimization problems, 
particularly those arising in Machine Learning, under the framework of 
robust optimization, where the input data is given with some 
uncertainty. The goal is exploit the structure of these optimization 
problems in order to develop efficient algorithms for finding near 
optimal solutions under the worst-case choice the input can assume from 
the uncertainty set. Experience with optimization software and 
programming languages such as C++, Python, Matlab, Gurobi is strongly 
recommended, as part of this project will focus on providing efficient 
implementations of the developed algorithms.

Required Qualifications:

- Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science, Operations Research, or equivalent
- Strong mathematical background in areas like continuous/discrete 
optimization and
- Solid programming skills (e.g. C++, Python, Matlab, Gurobi)
- Familiarity with Machine Learning algorithms is highly preferred.

The position will be for a duration of 1 year, starting as early as 
possible. Interested applicants are encouraged to send a CV by December 
30th, 2019 to Khaled Elbassioni (khaled.elbassioni at ku.ac.ae).
