Postdoctoral Fellowship in Packing Problems

We are seeking candidates for a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship position 
to work at the Institute of Computing, University of Campinas, Unicamp, 
Campinas, SP, Brazil. This fellowship is part of a Project, entitled 
``Investigation of hard problems from the algorithmic and structural 
standpoints'', funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (Fapesp).

Goals.
Development of approximation algorithms and exact solution methods for 
packing problems, mainly for two- and three-dimensional versions. Obtain 
new or better approximation factors for variants or improved models and 
algorithms for packing problems.

Specifications.
The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Operations 
Research, Applied Mathematics or in a related field. The candidate must 
have finished the Ph.D. less than seven years before the beginning of 
the PD fellowship. The candidate should demonstrate a solid background 
in the design and analysis of algorithms, approximation algorithms, 
integer programming, heuristics, and meta-heuristics. The candidate is 
expected to interact with other members of the project, including 
masters and Ph.D. students and professors.

Fellowship:
The post-doctoral fellowship includes a monthly stipend of R$ 7.373,10 
(about USD 1,750 and EUR 1,580), access to the health-care system of 
Unicamp, and research contingency funds (15% of the annual value of the 
fellowship, each year). For more details, check out Fapesp’s webpage 
http://www.fapesp.br/en/5427.

How to Apply:
The candidate must send by email until December 15, 2019, the following 
documents:

* Curriculum vitae with a list of publications, and previous experience.
* A motivation letter for the application.
* Contact of an earlier supervisor that can give a recommendation.

All documents must be sent by email to Flávio K. Miyazawa at 
fkm at ic.unicamp.br.
