I am looking for a post-doctoral fellow with a strong background in mathematical programming and other operations research methods, and a great interest in applying those methods in forest-based biomass supply chain management. The candidate has to have a Ph.D. degree in operations research, industrial engineering, or other related fields and a good knowledge of computer programming and supply chain modeling. The candidate must have demonstrated excellent research skills and the ability to communicate and collaborate with others efficiently.
This is a full-time position till April 2021. The successful candidate will assist in 1) developing models and decision support tools, 2) preparing grant proposals, 3) writing reports for funding agencies, 4) guiding graduate students, and 5) writing research papers for refereed journals. One of the main projects that the successful candidate will work on is the optimization of forest-based biomass supply chains for producing renewable natural gas. This project will be conducted in close collaboration with industry and other graduate students in IERG.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter, a copy of their CV, and any related published work to Dr. Taraneh Sowlati at taraneh.sowlati@ubc.ca.
