POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP: Computational Methods in Optimization

Our Thematic Project announces two-year post-doctoral 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 ans 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 investigative themes include parameter estimation of real models; 
research related with energy (generation, sustainable systems, 
electricity markets); convex optimization and extensions to data 
science; sequential 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 PD 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 of the team.

The post-doctoral fellowship includes a monthly stipend of R$ 7.373,10 
(about USD 1,400 - enough for the comfortable maintenance of a single 
person in Campinas or Sao Paulo), 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 FAPESPís webpage 
http://www.fapesp.br/en/5427.

To apply, the candidate must send the following documents by email until 
March 30, 2021:

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

* Two recommendation letters, being one preferably from a previous 
supervisor ((those can be sent directly to sasantos at unicamp.br by the 
recommenders);

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

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