    Openings for PhD students in optimization at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK

    Several PhD positions are available at Oklahoma State University (OSU) in the School of Industrial Engineering & Management (IEM). Drs. Buchanan, Yousefian, and Zhao are looking to hire PhD students in optimization in Fall 2016. The application deadline is February 1st. Research assistantships and scholarships are available for qualified students.

    Austin Buchanan (2 students) is an Assistant Professor in the School of IEM at OSU. He obtained his PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Texas A&M University in 2015. His research focuses on solving challenging combinatorial optimization problems arising in the design and analysis of networks.
