Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Tech

The U.S. National Science Foundation AI Research Institute for Advances in Optimization (NSF AI4OPT) is hiring postdoctoral researchers in AI for Supply Chains and AI for Manufacturing at Georgia Tech, under the supervisor of professor Pascal Van Hentenryck. Applicants should have obtained a PhD degree and have a background in optimization or AI/ML, and applicants with inter-disciplinary and diverse expertise are encouraged to apply. The position requires strong technical skills and coding expertise in Python, Julia, or C++.

Successful candidates will contribute to research projects that primarily focus on applying large-scale optimization and machine learning to critical applications in supply chains and manufacturing. Candidates will be part of multi-disciplinary research teams that bring together world leaders in AI and optimization from six universities to work on real problems with real data from the largest supply chains and manufacturing processes in the world. Candidates will have the opportunity to supervise students and manage projects with partners such as UPS, Ryder, Kinaxis, Intel, and several U.S. National Laboratories.

NSF AI4OPT is one of the 29 National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes set up by the National Science Foundation to conduct use-inspired research and realize the potential of AI. NSF AI4OPT is focused on AI for Engineering and is conducting cutting-edge research at the intersection of learning, optimization, and generative AI to transform decision making at massive scales, driven by applications in supply chains, energy systems, chip design and manufacturing, and sustainable food systems. NSF AI4OPT brings together around 100 faculty and students from Georgia Tech, UC Berkeley, University of Southern California, UC San Diego, Clark Atlanta University, and the University of Texas at Arlington, working together with industrial partners that include Intel, Google, UPS, Ryder, Keysight, Southern Company, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
