Application Deadline: finished (2023/12/20, finished 2024/09/28, listed until 2024/03/21)
Position Description: *** this position has been closed and new applications are no longer accepted. ***
| Applications are invited for one postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University under the supervision of Prof. Kevin Flores and Prof. Osman Ozaltin. The initial term of the appointment would be for one year, with the potential for renewal of up to three years pending adequate progress and continued availability of funding. The postdoc will be expected to perform interdisciplinary research and have the opportunity to teach up to two courses per year.
Requirements
The applicants must have a PhD in mathematics or a closely related field (e.g., mathematical biology, physics, bioengineering or computer science). We are seeking applicants with a strong background in mathematical modeling and scientific computing. Particular areas of interest are parameter estimation, uncertainty quantification, machine learning, and agent-based modeling.
Research Responsibilities
The scholar will work with Prof. Kevin Flores and Prof. Osman Ozaltin at NC State and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of faculty at NC State and UNC Chapel Hill: Prof. Maria Mayorga, Prof. Julie Swann, and Prof. Paschal Sheeran on a project funded by the National Science Foundation.
The postdoc is expected to support the research activities as described in the grant abstract. The overarching goal of the project is to develop and validate new mathematical frameworks to integrate human behavior into epidemiological models. The postdoc will develop new equation learning and bilevel optimization algorithms and demonstrate their performance on a range of applications of relevance to predicting the impact of behavioral and social interventions on COVID-19 disease spread.
Teaching
This position also includes the opportunity to teach courses in the Department of Mathematics at NC State. The amount of teaching will be up to two courses per year.
