<span>The
School of Engineering at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile</span><br>
<span>invites applications for a faculty position in Operations
Research at
the</span><br>
<span>Department of Industrial and System Engineering. Operations
Research is</span><br>
<span>one of the areas of the Department, together with
Operations Management,</span><br>
<span>Economics and Finance, and General Management.
Hence, we seek</span><br>
<span>candidates with strong background in the area but, at
the same time, ability</span><br>
<span>to interact with other researchers and be able
to get involved in relevant</span><br>
<span>applications of Operations Research.
Applicants should have (or be currently</span><br>
<span>pursuing studies toward) a PhD
in Operations Research or a related area,</span><br>
<span>have potential for teaching
excellence at the undergraduate and graduate</span><br>
<span>levels and a record of
success in, or potential for, scholarly research and</span><br>
<span>publication in
leading academic journals. Candidates need not know Spanish</span><br>
<span>at the
moment of applying, but learning the language will be important</span><br>
<span>afterwards. </span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>The value proposition includes: </span><br>
<span>. Working at Chile's best university with the country's best
students (top 3%). </span><br>
<span>. Interaction with faculty members with PhDs from the world's
top-rated</span><br>
<span>universities. </span><br>
<span>. Enjoying a high standard of living. </span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>The
School of Engineering at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile</span><br>
<span>ranks among the top Latin American engineering institutions. Both
our</span><br>
<span>undergraduate and graduate programs are accredited by the Chilean</span><br>
<span>Accreditation Commission (CNA), and our undergraduate programs are</span><br>
<span>also
accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology</span><br>
<span>(ABET). The undergraduate program accepts a maximum of 500
students</span><br>
<span>per
year, chosen from among the top 3% of the country's students. Currently</span><br>
<span>our full-time faculty includes 110 professors, 97% of whom have
doctorates</span><br>
<span>from prestigious universities worldwide. They are committed
to introducing</span><br>
<span>innovative teaching methods, conducting state-of-the art
research and</span><br>
<span>publishing in international journals. </span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>The
School of Engineering has nine departments and seven research centers,</span><br>
<span>and offers Master's and Ph.D. degrees. The Operations Research
position</span><br>
<span>comes under the School's Department of Industrial and Systems
Engineering.</span><br>
<span>A leader in innovation and dissemination in the theory and
practice of</span><br>
<span>management, the Department's activities make a fundamental
contribution</span><br>
<span>to the education of industrial engineers at the Pontificia
Universidad Católica</span><br>
<span>de Chile. Research and Outreach activities at the
Department include</span><br>
<span>Management Sciences, as well as Economics and
Finance and Organizational</span><br>
<span>Sciences, generating activities with high
impact in industry and government.</span><br>

<br>
We are
organising on October 25-26th, 2011 an International Workshop<br>
“Metric
Regularity Days”.<br>
<a
href="http://www.math.jussieu.fr/%7Efrankowska/MetricRegularitySite/index.html"
target="_blank">http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~frankowska/MetricRegularitySite/index.html</a>
<br>
Talks will
be given by leading specialists in the domain and we are also<br>
planning to organize
a panel/discussion on applications of metric regularity<br>
to control problems. <br>
<br>
There is no
registration fee, bur a registration is required. <br>
If you wish
to attend, please contact Helene Frankowska:<br>

href="mailto:frankowska@math.jussieu.fr?subject=Metric%20Regularity%20Days"

<br>
"The
theory of metric regularity is a rapidly developing area motivated by<br>
various
applications in optimization and control. It is useful both for<br>
theoretical
studies and in numerical analysis.
<br>
In
particular, metric regularity is very instrumental as a tool for
handling <br>
undamental problems such as controllability, normality of necessary<br>
optimality
conditions, feasibility, as well as implicit mapping theorems,<br>
sensitivity and
robustness. It plays a major role in proving convergence of<br>
numerical methods
for solving problems of optimal control, optimization,<br>
equilibrium, and beyond.
Specifically, the metric regularity property reflects<br>
the idea of a posteriori
error bounds for constraint systems. For discrete<br>
approximations of extremals
in optimal control it leads to a posteriori error<br>
estimates. There is a natural
relationship between metric regularity and<br>
convergence of a broad range of
algorithms, such as Newton-type methods,<br>
providing also the rate of
convergence."<br>
