Post Doc Research Scholar (Post Doc)

Professor Shashaani needs a postdoctoral research scholar to assist with ongoing research on stochastic derivative-free optimization. Duties and responsibilities include:

• Design and analysis of algorithms for nonlinear optimization algorithms that use noisy simulation outputs to handle high-dimensionality, constraints, and nonsmoothness


• Implementation of developed algorithms in code using Python and Julie, version control and documentation with GitHub


• Analysis of computational experiments to evaluate algorithm performance with different testbeds using high-performance computing


• Preparing manuscripts for publication and reports and other proposals for the funding agencies


• Presenting findings at relevant conferences or seminars

Other Duties and Responsibilities

• Execution and analysis of computational experiments to evaluate performance using high-performance computing


• Preparing manuscripts for publication


• Presenting findings at relevant conferences

• Assistance with mentoring PhD students in the research group or with teaching tasks


• Participation in developing proposals for outside research funding
