Responsibilities and tasks
The associate professor is expected to conduct research and teaching in the intersection of finance and mathematical modeling and operations research at the highest international level within areas like yield management, asset allocation, stochastic programming etc. Dissemination of research results is expected through scientific publications, interdisciplinary collaborative projects at national and international level as well as through collaboration with organizations and industry. Furthermore, it is expected that the candidate seeks and obtains external funding. Previous participation in operations research projects is an advantage.
The Department of Management Engineering values a combination of theory development and a focus on real-life applications. An example could be applications from the energy industry such as asset allocation in power markets or optimization of revenue in a fenceless fare structure from the airline industry. The Department is team-oriented, and the associate professor is expected to support this through peer activities.
The associate professor will become part of the Division of Management Science. The division has a focus on operations research, operations management, implementation and performance management, and financial engineering.
The division contributes to a number of bachelor and master programs. The candidate should actively participate in attracting and supervising B.Sc. and M.Sc. students. The educational responsibilities also include classroom teaching, lecturing, and examinations. The candidate will also be responsible for the supervision of PhD students and postdocs and will have administrative duties including academic assessment work on all levels. The associate professor must have a well-documented teaching record and will take responsibility for the development of educational programs and courses at all levels.
The division's teaching is mainly concentrated on master level activities, but also includes courses on bachelor level. The educational responsibilities will to the extent possible be related to the research focus area, however flexibility is required. Please note that the expected teaching on bachelor level is required to be in Danish, and on master level it is required to be in English. International candidates are required to take courses in Danish and teach in Danish after a period to be agreed upon with the head of division.
The Division of Management Science has strong cooperation with industry, commissioning institutions, and government research institutes. The applicant should be willing to actively contribute to these activities.
The associate professor is expected to take interest in exploiting the possibilities of developing collaboration with related groups both internally at the Department and externally with other departments at the university (e.g., the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science and Department of Electrical Engineering).
