POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP:

Computational Methods in Optimization

Our Thematic Project announces three (3) two-year postdoctoral 
fellowship positions to work either at the Institute of Mathematics, 
Statistics and Scientific Computing, IMECC 
(https://www.ime.unicamp.br/en) of The  University of Campinas, Unicamp 
(www.unicamp.br/index.php/english), Campinas, SP, Brazil, or at the 
Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, IME (https://www.ime.usp.br/en) 
of the University of Sao Paulo, USP (https://www5.usp.br/#english), Sao 
Paulo, SP, Brazil. The scholarship is renewable for two more years, 
depending on the attainable results.

The investigative themes include several topics in Computational 
Optimization, namely parameter estimation of real models; packing 
problems; optimality conditions and methods for Nash equilibrium.

The candidate must have a PhD in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, 
Engineering, or in a related field. The candidate must have finished the 
PhD less than seven years before the beginning of the fellowship. The 
candidate should demonstrate a solid background in nonlinear 
optimization. Experience in programming is highly desirable. The 
candidate is expected to interact with other members of the project 
including masters and PhD students, and professors.

The postdoctoral fellowship includes a monthly stipend of R$ 7.373,10 
(about USD 1,800 or EU$ 1,600), access to the health-care system of 
Unicamp or USP, and research contingency funds (15% of the annual value
of the fellowship, each year). The fellowship may also cover 
transportation costs and an additional monthly stipend for installments 
in the state of São Paulo. For more details, check out FAPESP’s webpage 
http://www.fapesp.br/en/5427.

To apply, the candidate must send by email until September 30, 2019 the 
following documents:

* Curriculum vitae with a list of publications, and previous experience;

* Two recommendation letters, being one from a previous supervisor, if 
possible;

* A motivation letter for the application indicating the desired university.

All documents must be sent to Prof. Sandra A. Santos at 
sandra at ime.unicamp.br, using 'pos doc application' as the subject.
