    Post-Doctoral Fellow
    Distributed Optimization-based Decision Support Systems

    In collaboration with researchers from the Department of Computing
    Science and two industrial partners, we have been undertaking a
    research project on the development of distributed decision support
    systems for large-scale operations. This has involved an
    interdisciplinary group of 10 researchers drawn from mathematics,
    computing science and engineering. The work has focused in three
    areas: decomposition of large-scale optimization problems and
    coordination of the resulting decentralized / distributed
    optimization systems; post-optimality analysis of vector optimization
    problems; and visualization of optimization results. The next phase
    of the project will continue the work and expand the project to
    include the use of various analysis tools to monitor the performance
    of the optimization systems and diagnose faulty behaviour.

    Currently, we are seeking a PDF with expertise in process systems
    optimization and post-optimal analysis of optimization problems, and
    who is interested in applying their knowledge to industrial problems.

    For more information or to apply for the position, please send your
