    Dear colleagues,

    I am forwarding the following announcement from Prof. Matthias Koeppe at the University of California, Davis.

    Thanks, Amitabh

    ------

    A postdoctoral position is available immediately in applied and computational
    mixed integer linear optimization for applications in water resource management.

    The candidate is expected to closely work with a group of computational
    scientists and water resources management engineers. The candidate's
    responsibilities include the analysis and development of real-world
    mixed-integer linear optimization models, performance tuning of open
    source mixed integer solvers, and the development of a high
    performance implementation for multi-core computers.

    Experience in mixed integer optimization modeling, familiarity with
    the COIN-OR solvers (CBC, CLP), Java programming including Java Native
    Interface (JNI), and the principles of parallel computing on
    multi-core machines are expected.

    The initial appointment is for one year, and the renewal of the
    appointment in the following years is contingent upon excellent
    performance and the renewal of government contracts. A competitive salary
    based on the applicant's qualifications and experience will be offered.

    The position is available immediately and will be filled as soon
    as a suitable candidate is identified. The candidate should have
    received (or be about to receive) a doctoral degree in optimization,
    computational mathematics, operations research, or computer science. Applicants
    should send a vita, bibliography with relevant reprints, and a brief
    description of research experience and interests to

    employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement
    of diversity among its faculty and staff.
