Essential Job Duties:

The Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at North Carolina State University is hiring a postdoctoral research scholar in the area of process modeling and optimization, spatial modeling, and environmental/agricultural data analysis.

The postdoctoral research scholar will report directly to Dr. Mahmoud Sharara and work closely with Drs.

The scholar will develop mixed-integer optimization models to inform site selection and scale of technology adoption. The scholar is expected to generate peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals and assist with leading research efforts.

  • Develop process models and optimizations to estimate region-wide and state-wide technology adoption performance and economics.
  • Generate peer-reviewed manuscripts and technical reports, and present the work at technical conferences and stakeholder meetings.
