[Iefac.list] Postdoc Position at USF

[Li, Mingyang]

Dear colleagues:


The Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Industrial and Management Systems Engineering at the University of South Florida (USF) are jointly seeking one postdoctoral researcher to work on an NSF CRISP project titled “Integrative Decision Making Framework to Enhance the Resiliency of Interdependent Critical Infrastructures” (http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1638301). Our team of investigators includes experts from civil and environmental engineering (water supply and transportation systems), industrial and management systems engineering, computer science engineering, and environmental anthropology.



The goal of the project is to develop an integrative decision making framework with consideration of physical-based, virtual-based, and socioeconomic-based interdependencies between water, transportation and cyber infrastructures for evaluating strategies to enhance the resiliency of interdependent critical infrastructures.



The successful applicant will be expected to participate in developing multi-method adaptive simulator (agent-based, system dynamics), and the competition-based game platform. The successful applicant will also be expected to have strong mathematical programming and optimization solution algorithm development skills.



Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in civil and environmental engineering, industrial engineering, operations management, computer science or a related field; have a record of high impact peer-reviewed journal publications; prior experience with designing and implementing agent-based and system dynamic simulation models, mathematical programming and optimization of large-scale network programs, and excellent communication skills. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, CV, a list of representative journal publications, and the names of three references to Dr. Qiong Zhang (qiongzhang at usf.edu<mailto:qiongzhang at usf.edu>), Dr. Yu Zhang (yuzhang at usf.edu<mailto:yuzhang at usf.edu>), and Dr. Mingyang Li (mingyangli at usf.edu<mailto:mingyangli at usf.edu>).



The University of South Florida is a high-impact, global research university dedicated to student success. USF is a Top 50 research university among both public and private institutions nationwide in total research expenditures, according to the National Science Foundation.



The position is available immediately and applications will be reviewed until the position is filled. The initial appointment will be for one year and may be extended for another year contingent on satisfactory performance and availability of funding.


Thanks,


Mingyang Li, Ph.D.
