The Department of Decision Sciences comprises the disciplines of operations research, optimization, statistics, and operations management. Consistent with the mission of quality education and research in GWSB, the department advances the scientific principles and best practices of management decision-making in both the private and public sectors.
Postdocs will design, organize and conduct specialized and advanced experiments using established scientific protocols, troubleshoot and design new protocols, summarize findings and publish results in research journals, under the general supervision of a faculty member. In some cases, postdocs will assume general responsibility for general scientific operations in the lab, and/or provide supervision and guidance to laboratory staff, trainees and other researchers.
This position is primarily a temporary/training position in which the incumbent plays a substantive role in planning and conducting research by using quantitative and qualitative methods to collect, analyze and report data. In collaboration with the Principal Investigators, this role will participate in the planning of independent research, will analyze and interpret data, will publish results, will represent the university at conferences and meetings, and may develop new theories and methodologies. This position may also help the Principal Investigators to lead and direct the work of lower-level research staff. This role performs work under the supervision of experienced researchers and performs other related duties as assigned. The omission of specific duties does not preclude the supervisor from assigning duties that are logically related to the position.
The primary focus of this position is to conduct research involving the formulation, solution, and coding of stochastic optimization problems with decision-dependent uncertainty. In addition, specific problems of that form will be considered in the emergency health care context and the wildfire resilience of the energy systems.
The key responsibilities are:
Conduct research in Mathematical and Optimization to include:
Stochastic programming.
Mixed-integer nonlinear programming
Decision-dependent uncertainty.
Conduct research utilizing several programming languages:
C++ or Python.
Matlab.
Algebraic Modeling Programming Language (AMPL).
Mathematica.
Present results of the project in scientific conferences and workshops.
Performs other work-related duties as assigned. The omission of specific duties does not preclude the supervisor from assigning duties that are logically related to the position. The post-doc will conduct research with PIs facilitating teamwork and interdisciplinary collaboration between the two disciplines and schools within GW.
The postdoc will be working with both PIs trying to bring in and apply expertise in mathematical programming and stochastic optimization to power and energy network problems. This direction will help external recognition of the PIs’ work through joint publications. Additionally, the PIs will be able to seek and pursue extramural funding support from federal agencies in new domains that have not been explored by the PIs and are of interest to DOD/DOE/NSF funding agencies.

The Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR) supports the research infrastructure and facilitates several institutional research initiatives. Postdoctoral scholar appointments are available as part of a HRSA-funded National Research Service Award (NRSA) at GW for individuals with career interest in primary care research (T32).
We are currently accepting applications for three positions with appointments to begin between July and September 2023. The positions are temporary research training positions, to last for a minimum of 2 years, in which the incumbent plays a substantive role in planning and conducting research by designing and conducting experiments in an area relevant to primary care. In collaboration with faculty mentors, this role will participate in the planning of independent research, will analyze and interpret data, will disseminate results, will represent the university at conferences and scientific meetings, and may develop new theories and methodologies. This position may also assist faculty mentors in the conduct of established research and/or direct research staff. This role performs work under the supervision of experienced researchers Trainees may be assigned and receive financial supervision of experienced researchers. Trainees may be assigned and receive financial assistance for research-related coursework, and additional support is available for trainee-related expenses (e.g., conference travel}.
The overall goal of the George Washington University (GW) Primary Care Research Training Program (P-CART} is to develop researchers who are prepared to generate, test, and disseminate primary care-oriented interventions that aim to improve health and health equity. It is essential to equip the next generation of primary care researchers with the knowledge, competencies, experience, and leadership to uncover new knowledge and drive effective translation of best evidence into practice across health promotion, disease and injury prevention, workforce innovation, health care transformation, and population health. P-CART addresses the US Department of Health and Human Services clinical priority of “transforming the workforce – targeting the need” with a curriculum and research career development activities designed to prepare a professional cadre of trainees with the capabilities to address significant issues in primary care.
Primary care research is research that informs a wide range of issues related to primary care practice and policy, including the quality, costs, and outcomes of primary care; patient-provider communication; generalist-specialist issues; workforce issues; and access to care, including disparities in care. P-CART will also consider candidates pursuing biomedical or behavioral research that is relevant to primary care. The funding agency will review and must approve all research topics/projects. Trainees must attend a national HRSA meeting. Postdocs will design, organize and conduct specialized and advanced experiments using established scientific protocols, troubleshoot and design new protocols, summarize findings and publish results in research journals, under the general supervision of a faculty member. In some cases, postdocs will assume general responsibility for general scientific operations in the lab, and/or provide supervision and guidance to laboratory staff, trainees and other researchers.

The Department of Environmental & Occupational Health is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Associate position for the research group of Assistant Research Professor Dan Goldberg. The group’s main interests are quantifying the emissions of air pollution and climate change from local to global scales using satellite data and model simulations, including developing novel methods to quantify air pollution and evaluating air pollution in environmental justice communities.
Postdocs will design, organize and conduct specialized and advanced experiments using established scientific protocols, troubleshoot and design new protocols, summarize findings and publish results in research journals, under the general supervision of a faculty member. In some cases, postdocs will assume general responsibility for general scientific operations in the lab, and/or provide supervision and guidance to laboratory staff, trainees, and other researchers.
The primary responsibility is to support a NASA grant on using aircraft and satellite remote sensing to characterize urban NO2 air pollution and its effects on O3 pollution. The individual will be involved in all aspects of research including directing and performing computer-based modeling work, analyzing and interpreting data, and preparing manuscripts and presentations. In conjunction with Dr. Goldberg, other department investigators, and outside collaborators, the individual will identify research opportunities and prepare proposals for new extramural funding. The individual will also receive mentoring and direct guidance from Drs. Goldberg and Anenberg in order to advance their career in academic/government research and/or public policy.
Important geospatial datasets used for this research include: satellite remote sensing of air quality (e.g. data from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument, TROPOMI, and NASA GeoCAPE Airborne Simulator, GCAS), regional chemical transport modeling (e.g. CAMx, WRF-Chem, or CMAQ), demographic variables (e.g. census block, block group, and tract data from the U.S. Census), and output from environmental land-use regression models (e.g. gridded air pollution concentrations over urban, regional, and global areas).
Responsibilities include:
Clean, organize, process, and analyze large datasets in Python, IDL, R or similar programming language
