Positions

Postdoctoral associates

  • A postdoctoral position is currently available in the Process Systems Engineering Laboratory at MIT. The successful candidate will join the Novartis-MIT Center for Continuous Manufacturing working on applications of parameter estimation, experimental design and design envelope computation. The project is sponsored by a major international corporation and the candidate's responsibilities will include frequent interaction with and reporting to the sponsor.
    Candidates should have a Ph.D. in chemical engineering (or related area) with expertise in chemical process modeling, simulation and optimization (mathematical programming) and the areas mentioned above. Interested applicants should send a detailed curriculum vitae and a list of at least three referees to Paul Barton.
  • A postdoctoral position is currently available in the Process Systems Engineering Laboratory at MIT.
