Postdoctoral research fellowships in process systems engineering at Northwestern University Two postdoctoral fellowships are available, with competitive salary and benefits, in the You Research Group at Northwestern University. Successful candidates will be working on the solution methods for large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear/dynamic optimization problems, or on the optimal design and operations of sustainable energy production processes and supply chains, in collaboration with researchers from industry and national laboratories. The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal for two additional years contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued funding. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in engineering or applied mathematics with expertise in mathematical modeling and optimization, or in agent-based modeling and simulation. Individuals with research experience in process synthesis, production planning & scheduling, supply chain optimization or life cycle analysis are particularly encouraged to apply. Founded in 1851, Northwestern University is one of the world’s premiere research universities. The university has a long history of leadership in interdisciplinary research programs on systems engineering and operations research. The main campus of Northwestern University is located along the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan in Evanston, which is about 15 miles away from downtown Chicago. It provides researchers exceptional opportunities for intellectual, personal, and professional growth in a setting enhanced by the richness of Chicago area.
