Postdoctoral Position at Arizona State University

- Job Description: Open postdoctoral associate position on a project supported by INTEL with a grant to Dieter Armbruster.
- Starting date: Anytime after May 15, 2011, at the latest on August 15, 2011.
- Length: 10 months, extension possible, depending on results and funds.
- Benefits: The position is considered full time employment at ASU and hence includes certain benefits like health insurance etc.
- Teaching required: One course of calculus per semester.
- Requirement: Ph.D. in Mathematics, Computer Science, Industrial Engineering or related fields

Project: A group of researchers from ASU led by D. Armbruster (Mathematics) and Hongmin Li (Business School) and a group from INTEL led by Karl Kempf are modeling the sale of INTEL chips. We have developed a semi-automatic way to extract the rules by which the OEMs decide to pick up a product that INTEL introduces into the market as well as the rules by which the OEMs drop an INTEL product out of their product palette. The project so far has included data mining and agent based simulations. We expect these activities to continue and expand to include stochastic optimization and game-theoretic aspects. The project features a unique and close interplay between industrial problems and applied mathematics and business considerations. The goal is to generate insight and concepts for INTEL that can at the same time be published in regular academic journals and be presented at regular INFORMS conferences.

Contact: Please send an application and CV to Dieter Armbruster <armbruster@asu.edu>.
Applications received before May 15, 2011 will receive full consideration.
