The Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE) and Combinatorics and Optimization (C&O) at the University of Waterloo invites applications from qualified candidates for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship appointment in Process Scheduling and Operations Research under the supervision of professors Ricardo Fukasawa (C&O) and Luis Ricardez-Sandoval (ChE). The project involves solving optimization problems related to optimal scheduling of operations in an industrial facility. Desired qualifications are solid expertise in discrete optimization, programming languages and mathematical optimization modeling software. In particular, of great interest is experience in features like using callbacks in commercial optimization solvers and writing code for solving optimization problems using standard solvers. A Ph.D. degree and evidence of excellence in research are required. Successful applicants are expected to maintain an active program of research. Applications should include a cover letter describing their interest in the position and the candidate’s background in process scheduling and discrete optimization, a curriculum vitae and research statement and at least three reference letters. The deadline to apply to this position is October 31st, 2020. Late applications will be considered until the position is filled. Interested individuals should send their application to Ricardo Fukasawa (rfukasawa@uwaterloo.ca) and Luis Ricardez-Sandoval (laricard@uwaterloo.ca). The salary for this position will be similar to that offered by the NSERC postdoctoral fellowship program and commensurable with the background and activities to be developed by the applicant. The University of Waterloo regards equity and diversity as an integral
part of academic excellence and is committed to accessibility for all
employees. As such, we encourage applications from women, persons with
disabilities, Indigenous peoples, members of visible minorities, and others who
may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
At Waterloo, you will have the opportunity to work across disciplines and

body, situated in a rapidly growing community that has been termed a “hub of
innovation.”
All qualified candidates
