Subject: [DMANET] Post-doctoral position in Computational Optimization 
and Applications (Santiago, Chile)

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research position at 
Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (Santiago, Chile) to work on the development 
of optimization methods for large-scale project management and 
applications in strategic mine planning. Applicants with strong 
computational skills and an interest in optimization and natural 
resource management are encouraged to apply. Applicants should have 
obtained their Ph.D. no earlier than 2014.

This two-year position has a broad research mandate, with possible focus 
areas ranging from the methodological (general decomposition methods, 
cutting-planes, constraint programming, or others), to more applied 
computational work in mining with our many industrial partners. Though 
no previous experience in scheduling or mining is required, post-holders 
will be expected to dominate these fields during the course of the 
position and be able to work both independently, and as part of a multi 
disciplinary team comprised of optimizers, mining engineers, computer 
scientists, programmers, and others.

The position comes with the opportunity to develop a research or 
professional career in a high-impact industry, work with real data and 
ongoing mining projects throughout the world, develop large-scale 
optimization technologies in the cloud, and be part of an international 
network of research and industrial collaborators in the United States 
and Australia. Willingness to travel during the post-doc position is a plus.

The post is available from October 1st, 2019, or a mutually agreed date. 
Based in Santiago, Chile, at the Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez,  Peñalolen 
Campus, the position has a starting salary of USD $40,000 before taxes. 
Please enclose with your application your CV, a research statement, and 
three references to which recommendation letters can be solicited.

The position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.

Informal enquiries are encouraged; please contact Professors Eduardo 
Moreno or Marcos Goycoolea by email at eduardo.moreno at uai.cl and 
marcos.goycoolea at uai.cl.
