Opportunity: Postdoc at the University of Oklahoma

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

The National Institute for Risk and Resilience (NIRR; risk.ou.edu) at the
University of Oklahoma (OU) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on
a 5-year, $20 million, NSF funded project on *Socially Sustainable
Solutions for Water, Carbon, and Infrastructure Resilience in Oklahoma
(S3OK)*
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nsf.gov_awardsearch_showAward-3FAWD-5FID-3D1946093&d=DwMFaQ&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=ubJ1Cg2cvB-WhJ-4bAQ-2g&m=yu4tjs3frk3Gp7i21jbQ7TpGAtxxaJTIuTsxG8IQH-o&s=uo-W5pG4WvMo_TbY7mnACe18VsQeRqQisRIGRGNHnvw&e=>.
The highly interdisciplinary S3OK project includes researchers from social
and natural sciences, meteorology, and engineering. The successful
applicant will primarily work within the Sustainable Infrastructure (SI)
Focus Area of the project and interact with researchers in Civil
Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Operations
Research.

The goal of the SI Focus Area is to develop an aggregated resilience model
that will be utilized to characterize the influence of diverse
stakeholders' preferences and decision-making behavior on the functions of
interdependent water, electric power, and transportation infrastructure
systems to seek socially sustainable solutions to "wicked" problems. The
successful applicant will be expected to participate in engineering
analysis of components of these systems, network vulnerability studies, and
interdependency characterization.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering, Operations
Research, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. The successful
applicant will have prior experience with designing and implementing
network analysis, large-scale optimization models, and stochastic
programming. Excellent quantitative, analytical, and communication skills
are also expected. A competitive salary will be paid. The initial
appointment will be for one year and will be extended depending on the job
performance.



*Interested applicants should send a cover letter, CV, a list of
representative journal publications, and the names of three references to
Professor K.K. "Muralee" Muraleetharan (muralee at ou.edu <muralee at ou.edu>),
the Associate Director for Infrastructure and Engineering at NIRR.*
