Optimization Position at Wisconsin
Forum 'Emplois' - Sujet créé le 2010-05-12
The Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (www.discovery.wisc.edu) invites applications for faculty openings in Optimization and its Applications. The WID optimization theme aims to develop and apply optimization technology to systems-level problems emerging in science and engineering applications in an interdisciplinary, integrative, and collaborative fashion. Collaborations with biology and medical researchers will be a focus. Our interests encompass (but are not limited to): (i) Development of core optimization technology and large scale computational methodology; (ii) Planning techniques for medical treatment that exploit unfolding understanding of the physical system; (iii) Applications of simulation and stochastic optimization techniques; (iv) Use of optimization and statistical methods to understand and predict systems phenomena, even when competition exists between entities; (v) Sparse optimization and image reconstruction lev!
eraging compressed sensing frameworks, optimization algorithms, and powerful computational platforms.
Opportunities are available at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level. Successful candidates will occupy a new state-of-the-art and centrally located WID research facility specifically designed to spark and support cross-disciplinary collaborations. WID is the public half of an exciting public-private pair of Institutes that will promote basic research and facilitate the translation of new discoveries to practice.
Each successful candidate will be appointed to the department of the University that most appropriately matches their experience and interests. The candidate will be expected to develop a vigorous, independent research program; attract and maintain extramural funding for their research program; teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses; develop new course(s) in their area of expertise as appropriate; supervise graduate and postgraduate research; participate in faculty governance activities in the department, college and/or University; and actively engage with the national and international scientific community.
Applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching interests, and a statement of current and future research plans related to optimization and its applications. The full application, submitted as a PDF should not exceed 10 pages. In addition, three references from persons knowledgeable with the applicant's research, leadership and/or teaching abilities must be separately supplied through the website at: https://oberon.cs.wisc.edu/Recruiting/
Further details are available at: http://www.ohr.wisc.edu/pvl/pv_063829.html
