Research Fellow, Computational Optimization in Python

Job Description

The successful candidates will work with Prof. Shoemaker and her group to develop, implement and/or evaluate serial and parallel single or multi objective optimization algorithms for black-box objective functions. 

The optimization problem can be expected to have multiple local minima/maxima. Surrogate methods are considered also since computational efficiency for computationally expensive objectives (e.g. simulations) is greatly enhanced with them.

Job Requirements

• PhD in Operations Research, Industrial Systems Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science or related field.
• Experience in developing complex computer codes in Python.
• Prior knowledge of surrogate global optimization is an advantage.
