Industrial Postdoctoral Fellowships are designed to prepare
mathematicians for research careers in industry or involving industrial
interaction.  The postdoctoral fellow will be working in a
multidisciplinary group at Boeing on design optimization. Ideally,
candidates have experience in related optimization topics, such as
global optimization, nonsmooth optimization, multiobjective
optimization, response surface modeling, "system of systems"
optimization, or optimization under uncertainty.

The fellowship will run two years starting September 5, 2006. It is
funded jointly by the IMA and Boeing, and the successful candidate
will devote 50% effort to his or her own research and the IMA program
and 50% effort working with industrial scientists.  Industrial
postdoctoral fellows receive a salary of $50,000 annually, and a travel
allowance.  Documentation of completion of all requirements for a
doctoral degree in mathematics or a related area is required by the
start of the appointment and within the last three years. Candidates
will need to prove their status as US Citizens or permanent residents
at the start of the appopintment.
