Postdoctoral Fellowship in Packing Problems

We are seeking candidates for two post-doctoral positions to work at
the Institute of Computing of the University of Campinas, Brazil. Each
position extends for 9 months.

Goals: Development of approximation algorithms and exact solution
methods for packing problems, mainly for two- and three-dimensional
versions. Obtain new or better approximation factors for variants or
improved models and algorithms for packing problems.

Specifications: The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science,
Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, or in a related field, with
Ph.D. finished less than seven years before the beginning of the PD
fellowship. Should demonstrate a solid background in the design and
analysis of algorithms, approximation algorithms, integer programming,
heuristics, and meta-heuristics.

How to Apply: The candidate must send by email until May 20th, 2022,
the following documents:

• Curriculum Vitae with a list of publications, and previous experience;
• A motivation letter for the application;
• Contact of an earlier supervisor/advisor that can give a recommendation.

All documents must be sent by email to Flavio Miyazawa at fkm@ic.unicamp.br.

Each selected candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral fellowship from
the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$
8.479,20 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of
the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent in items
directly related to the research activity.

All documents must be sent by email to Flavio K. Miyazawa at fkm@ic.unicamp.br.
