[Job-offers-cs] Pfeiffer Postdoctoral Instructor, Computational Applied Mathematics and Operations Research, Rice University

[Pekka Orponen]

The Department of Computational Applied Mathematics and Operations 
Research (www.cmor.rice.edu) at Rice University in Houston, Texas, 
invites applications for Pfeiffer Postdoctoral Instructor positions. All 
postdoctoral instructors in the Department are appointed for two 
academic years with possible extension for a third year. The term of 
appointment will begin on July 1, 2023.

Instructors teach one undergraduate lecture course each semester and 
conduct research in collaboration with a faculty mentor. The Pfeiffer 
Postdoctoral Instructor position honors Professor Paul Pfeiffer (1917- 
2012), a founding member of the department.

As part of this search, the group of Matthias Heinkenschloss is looking 
for highly motivated applicants working in optimization, reduced order 
modeling, and parameter identification of large-scale differential 
equation based models. Successful applicants will work on one of two 
interdisciplinary projects: Optimization of biophysical models for 
single neurons, or multi-physics design analysis and optimization 
grounded in rigorous model reduction. The ideal candidate has a strong 
background in computational and applied mathematics, is familiar with 
continuous optimization, numerical solution of differential equations, 
and model reduction, and development of mathematical software, and has 
good communication skills.

We seek a greater representation of women, scholars of color, people 
with disabilities, veterans, and others who have historically been 
underrepresented in STEM; to attract international students from a wider 
range of countries and backgrounds; to accelerate progress in building a 
faculty and staff who are diverse in background and thought; and an 
inclusive environment that fosters interaction and understanding within 
our diverse community.

Rice University Standard of Civility serves as a representative of the 
University, displaying courtesy, tact, consideration, and discretion in 
all interactions with other members of the Rice community and with the 
public.

Qualifications: Candidates must have received or completed the 
requirements for a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics on or after January 1, 
2021, and have demonstrated potential for excellence in both research 
and teaching.

Application Instructions: Application should be submitted through 
apply.interfolio.com/121059. <http://apply.interfolio.com/121059.> 
Applicants interested in working in the group of Matthias Heinkenschloss 
should also send e-mail to heinken at rice.edu.

Each application must include a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae 
with a publication list, a research statement, a teaching statement, and 
a diversity statement. You will also be asked to provide the names and 
contact information of three references.  To receive full consideration 
the complete application must be received by March 15, 2023, but the 
committee will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
