Infrastructure Resilience in Oklahoma (S3OK)</b></a>. 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. </p>
