The Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE) and Combinatorics and 
Optimization (C&O) at the University of Waterloo invites applications 
from qualified candidates for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship 
appointment in Process Scheduling and Operations Research under the 
supervision of professors Ricardo Fukasawa (C&O) and Luis Ricardez 
Sandoval (ChE).

The project involves solving optimization problems related to optimal 
scheduling of operations in an industrial facility. Desired 
qualifications are solid expertise in discrete optimization, programming 
languages and mathematical optimization modeling software. In 
particular, of great interest is experience in features like using 
callbacks in commercial optimization solvers and writing code for 
solving optimization problems using standard solvers. A Ph.D. degree and 
evidence of excellence in research are required. Successful applicants 
are expected to maintain an active program of research. Applications 
should include a cover letter describing their interest in the position 
and the candidate's background in process scheduling and discrete 
optimization, a curriculum vitae and research statement and at least 
three reference letters.

The deadline to apply to this position is October 31st, 2020. Late 
applications will be considered until the position is filled. Interested 
individuals should send their application to Ricardo Fukasawa 
(rfukasawa at uwaterloo.ca<mailto:rfukasawa at uwaterloo.ca>) and Luis 
Ricardez-Sandoval (laricard at uwaterloo.ca<mailto:laricard at uwaterloo.ca>). 
The salary for this position will be similar to that offered by the 
NSERC postdoctoral fellowship program and commensurable with the 
background and activities to be developed by the applicant.

The University of Waterloo regards equity and diversity as an integral 
part of academic excellence and is committed to accessibility for all 
employees. As such, we encourage applications from women, persons with 
disabilities, Indigenous peoples, members of visible minorities, and 
others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas. At 
Waterloo, you will have the opportunity to work across disciplines and 
collaborate with an international community of scholars and a diverse 
student body, situated in a rapidly growing community that has been 
termed a "hub of innovation."

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply, however Canadians and 
permanent residents will be given priority.
