Postdoctoral Position for Numerical Optimization at University of Rochester

Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral position in numerical optimization. We are looking for a creative and collaborative individual to join our dynamic research group to solve the complex optimization problems in estimating parameters in large nonlinear dynamic systems. The applicant should have a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Computer Science, Computational Engineering, or other related scientific disciplines, with theoretical and practical experience in computational programming and optimization algorithm development. Expertise and background in nonlinear and high-dimensional optimization problems for complex systems with biomedical applications is desirable. Programming skills and experience of parallel computing using OpenMP, MPI and GPU will be highly appreciated. Demonstrated evidence of good computational skills and capability of methodological/theoretical research is essential. The postdoctoral appointment is one year with possible renewal for more years subject to performance and funding availability. The scientific environment is conducive to professional development for those anticipating a career in both academic setting and applied industrial setting. This is a unique opportunity for well-trained individuals interested in both methodological and applied research. University of Rochester is an AA/EOE employer. Applications from women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Please send your CV, three references and other supporting materials to
