I am accepting applications for a postdoctoral research fellow position in Interdependent Infrastructure within the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Recent natural disasters have challenged our traditional approaches of planning for and managing disruptive events. Today, social media provides an opportunity to make use of community-driven data to help us understand the resilience of community networks, physical infrastructure networks, and networks of service providers. This research will create network models of interdependent infrastructure networks, including service networks engaged to respond after a disruption, and will identify optimal ways to enhance resilience to natural and man-made disasters through optimization and risk-informed decision making with respect to interdependent infrastructure. Researchers with backgrounds and interests in integer programming, network flow optimization, stochastic programming, or bi-level programming with application to disasters and security problems are encouraged to apply.
Location:
The University of Wisconsin-Madison campus in Madison, Wisconsin.
Requirements
- Must have satisfactorily completed doctorate before the first day of appointment.
- Should be within five years of having received a doctorate.
- Applicants should be proficient with programming, optimization, and/or statistical packages.
- Anticipated start date: as early as June 1, 2017. Later is fine.
- Length of appointment: two years.
- Pay rate will be a minimum of $50,000 per year.
- Applicants from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
