Postdoc Positions, Computational Optimization, Cornell

[administrator]

We are searching for two Post-Doctoral Associates to develop innovative stochastic optimization algorithms and software for operating a large multi-reservoir hydropower system. Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D.in a technical area such as Operations Research, Systems Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Civil Engineering or related fields. Candidates must have substantial background in computational optimization algorithms and be experienced Matlab programmers. A background in some of the following is desirable: nonlinear or dynamic programming, watershed hydrology and /or statistics. Previous knowledge of hydropower operations is not required.

Applicants should apply and provide required information through the Cornell job website https://www.hr.cornell.edu/jobs/positions.html for position 26147, which has a longer job description.  Direct questions can be sent to Professor Stedinger via e-mail jrs5@cornell.edu, with “BPA Postdoc” in the subject line. Review of applications is immediate and will continue until the positions are filled. Professors Stedinger and Shoemaker (Civil and Environmental Engineering and Applied Mathematics, Cornell University) are supervising this DOE project.
