Subject: Clinton, NJ: Research Position in Mathematical Programming at ExxonMobil

ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company has an immediate opening for a full-time regular position in our Optimization and Logistics research group in Corporate Strategic Research Laboratory, located 50 miles west of New York City in scenic, rural New Jersey.

We are looking for creative, resourceful individuals to join our research and development effort in optimization and logistics for the petrochemical industry. Our industry offers a multitude of challenging logistics and supply chain optimization problems that require state-of-the-art technology in the area of large-scale mixed-integer programming. The successful candidate will join a dynamic group of scientists performing breakthrough research for all sectors of the corporation, creating new approaches to solve our most challenging optimization problems.

The applicant should have a Ph.D. in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline. Theoretical and practical experience in mathematical programming modeling and algorithm development is a requirement, particularly in the area of large-scale mixed integer programming. Research emphasis on planning and scheduling, transportation and distribution, and/or inventory management and control is highly desirable. Proficiency in current commercial and academic mathematical programming and optimization modeling languages and solvers is an important skill, as are strong computing skills in an object-oriented programming language. Expertise in stochastic programming or constraint programming is desirable, although not necessary. The ability of the candidate to grow into closely related research areas will also be of critical importance.

ExxonMobil offers an excellent working environment and a competitive compensation and benefits package.
