[David Mendonca]

A 12-month, full-time postdoctoral scholar position in decision making and applied 
statistics is available beginning 1 February 2015 in the Department of Industrial and 
Systems Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Applicants should have a 
Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering or related field, with core competencies in human 
factors and/or applied statistics. Prior research experience in the disaster response

collaborative publishing; professional presentations; shared supervision of graduate 
and undergraduate research assistants; and proposal development. The position is 
associated with a three-year NSF-funded project on post-disaster debris removal 
operations (PI: David Mendonça). Renewal beyond the initial 12-month appointment is 
dependent upon performance and the availability of funds.

To apply, email a single PDF file containing a cover letter describing the applicant's 
qualifications and career plans, a current CV, and contact information for three 
professional references to mendod at rpi.edu. Review of applications will begin on 15 
December 2014 and continue until the position is filled. Please direct any questions 
about this position to David Mendonca (mendod at rpi.edu).
