Postdoctoral Research Position in Optimization at Lehigh University

The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering of Lehigh 
University is interested in hiring a postdoctoral researcher for one 
year in Continuous Optimization for Data Analysis and Machine Learning. 
The project will focus on the development of scalable methods for 
large-scale problems using novel decomposition and randomized 
techniques. The researcher will integrate the Optimization and Machine 
Learning Research Group at Lehigh (http://optml.lehigh.edu). The 
starting date is negotiable (within the next 6-12 months).

A successful candidate will hold a PhD in Optimization, Industrial 
Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or other field 
related to the project by the starting date. Additional desired 
attributes include the following: (1) experience in the design, 
analysis, and implementation of optimization algorithms, especially 
stochastic, nonsmooth or derivative-free methods; (2) experience using 
and/or implementing numerical optimization software; and (3) excellent 
communication skills.

Expressions of interest should be sent to Luis Nunes Vicente 
(luisnunesvicente at gmail.com): (1) a cover letter describing their 
experience and research interests as they relate to the project, (2) a 
CV that includes a list of publications, and (3) contact information 
(i.e., name, position, e-mail address, and phone number) of at least two 
references with knowledge of the applicant's knowledge and experience.
