The Chair of Logistics and Operations Analytics is looking for a
PhD student (TV-L E 13 75%) as part of the DFG project ReSCueD
The starting date is flexible and the contract initially for a limited period of up to three years. The place of work is Ingolstadt. Provided that requirements are met, remuneration in the private-law employment relationship will be according to the pay grade E 13 TV-L.
About us
The Chair of Logistics and Operations Analytics focusses on fundamental and application-oriented research with analytical methods (operations research, machine learning, data-driven optimization, game theory). The focus of the applications lies in transportation logistics, mobility, urban logistics, production planning, and supply chain management. In research, collaborations with national and international universities exist. Routing and delivery planning tools as well as new logistics concepts for urban areas have been applied in various industry and research projects.
Project
The DFG-funded research project Resilience Strategies for City Logistics under Disruptions (ReSCueD) aims to develop mathematical models and efficient solution methods in the area of urban logistics. Besides traditional solution methods, machine learning ideas play a central role in the project. Furthermore, a collaboration with international colleagues in Canada is planned.
Research environment
The student will be part of the Department of Operations at the Ingolstadt School of Management in Ingolstadt, Germany, where several PhD students and PostDocs work on related problems in the area of logistics, production planning and supply chain management. The chair is also part of the Mathematical Institute for Machine Learning and Data Science (MIDS) at the KU in Ingolstadt and the student can join both research groups. Further, Prof. Fontaine is a collaborative member at the CIRRELT in Montreal.
Requirements
We are looking for a motivated candidate with Master degree in Management, Economics, Industrial Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field and experience with Operations Research methods (e.g., mathematical programming, discrete optimization). Ideally, you have expertise in programming of algorithms or mathematical modelling.
We offer
* Temporary position as a research associate (TV-L E-13, 75%) for up to 3 years. Continued employment is intended.
* Part-time (e.g., 50%) is also possible
* Excellent research environment
