PhD project (fully-funded)
Resilient Supply Chains in Disaster Management
Deadline: Friday 31 March 2023
Fully funded PhD scholarship for 3 years covers all university tuition fees (at UK level) and an annual tax-free stipend. International students are also eligible to apply, but they will need to find other funding sources to cover the difference between the home and international tuition fees. Exceptional international candidates will be provided funding for this difference, so we encourage them to apply.
1st class honours/undergraduate degree (essential) and an excellent Masters-level qualification or equivalent (strongly desirable), in a highly quantitative subject such as Computer Science, Operations Research, Mathematics, Statistics, or Engineering. Proficient programming skills in an object-oriented programming language are highly desirable. For further requirements (such as English language), please check the detailed advert.
There will be a shortlisting and interview process (interviews to be scheduled in April 2023).
The project will investigate supply chain optimization for complex multi-echelon operations under uncertainty, which can easily propagate in such a system. This is particularly challenging during emergency situations, whether local or global and can be sudden or predictable within a short time. The researcher is expected to develop mathematical optimization models and design customised algorithms to address these problems under various considerations.
