Are you an excellent researcher in Circular Supply Chains? Do you have expertise to help businesses adapt circularity when their supply chains are designed to operate linearly? Do you have the passion to teach a broad range of courses that prepare students for a successful career? Do you like to work with companies to see your research applied?
We are looking for a new Assistant Professor for the Operations, Planning, Accounting and Control (OPAC) group.
You will initiate, perform, and supervise high-quality research in the area of circular supply chains. Your research will focus on re-engineering supply chains around circularity, and you will apply techniques from a range of methodological and modelling approaches including operations research, choice modelling, game theory and machine learning. You are expected to develop a multi-disciplinary research portfolio that has strong emphasis on applicability and impact.
The OPAC group helps stakeholders across sectors to make smart, informed decisions, thereby contributing to more efficiency, enhanced sustainability, better use of resources and improved Total Cost of Ownership. The research of the group deals with the control of operational processes, which can be related to manufacturing systems, distribution, transportation, warehousing, retail, and service processes such as equipment maintenance.
Today, we are seeing many sectors being transformed by enormous leaps in digital, automation and robotic technologies. In an increasingly fast, demanding and competitive world with shrinking resources, smart control of operational processes brings increased output at improved quality, using the same - or even fewer – resources, and leads to less waste, as such contributing to a more sustainable world.
