Postdoctoral Fellowship in Packing Problems We are seeking candidates for two post-doctoral positions to work at the Institute of Computing of the University of Campinas, Brazil. Each position extends for 9 months. Goals: Development of approximation algorithms and exact solution methods for packing problems, mainly for two- and three-dimensional versions. Obtain new or better approximation factors for variants or improved models and algorithms for packing problems. Specifications: The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, or in a related field, with Ph.D. finished less than seven years before the beginning of the PD fellowship. Should demonstrate a solid background in the design and analysis of algorithms, approximation algorithms, integer programming, heuristics, and meta-heuristics. How to Apply: The candidate must send by email until May 20th, 2022, the following documents: • Curriculum Vitae with a list of publications, and previous experience; • A motivation letter for the application; • Contact of an earlier supervisor/advisor that can give a recommendation. All documents must be sent by email to Flavio Miyazawa at [fkm@ic.unicamp.br](mailto:fkm@ic.unicamp.br). Each selected candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral fellowship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$ 8.479,20 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent in items directly related to the research activity. All documents must be sent by email to Flavio K. Miyazawa at [fkm@ic.unicamp.br](mailto:fkm@ic.unicamp.br).
