<p>The Department of Computational Applied Mathematics and
Operations Research (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.cmor.rice.edu">www.cmor.rice.edu</a>) 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Application Instructions: Application should be submitted through
<a href="http://apply.interfolio.com/121059." title="Unmangled
Microsoft Safelink">apply.interfolio.com/121059.</a> Applicants
interested in working in the group of Matthias Heinkenschloss
should also send e-mail to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:heinken@rice.edu">heinken@rice.edu</a>. </p>
<p>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.</p>
