Postdoctoral position in Mixed Integer Linear Programming for 
Water Resource Management at the University of California, Davis

A postdoctoral position is available starting January 1, 2018 in applied 
and computational mixed integer linear programming (MILP) and applications
in water resource management.  The candidate is expected to closely work 
with a group of computational scientists and water resources management 
engineers. The candidate's responsibilities include the analysis and 
development of real-world MILP models, performance tuning of open
source mixed integer solvers, and the development of a high
performance implementation for multi-core computers.
Experience in MILP, familiarity with the COIN-OR solvers (Cbc, CLP), 
Java programming including Java Native Interface (JNI), and the 
principles of parallel computing on multi-core machines are expected.

The initial appointment is for one year, and the renewal of the
appointment in the following years is contingent upon excellent
performance and the renewal of contracts. A competitive salary
based on the applicant's qualifications and experience will be offered.
The position is available starting January 1, 2018 and will be filled 
as soon as a suitable candidate is identified. The candidate should have
received (or be about to receive) a doctoral degree. Applicants
should send a vita, bibliography with relevant reprints, and a brief
description of research experience and interests to
