Postdoc Position on Stochastic Optimization at Argonne National Laboratory

The Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory is searching for a postdoctoral appointee to develop *scalable algorithms for stochastic and robust optimization with probabilistic constraints and supporting convergence theory*. The candidate will also perform scalability tests in parallel computing clusters. The problems of interest arise from the design and real-time coordination of next-generation national infrastructure systems such as electrical and natural gas transmission networks where uncertainties originate from rare events and spatio-temporal weather and demand fields.

Candidates must possess a comprehensive background in numerical optimization and statistics as well as solid C/C++ programming skills.
