Job descriptionAre you an excellent quantitative researcher in Operations Management? Are you interested in Supply Chain Management, Maintenance Optimization, and/or Manufacturing Systems? Do you have the passion to teach a range of courses that prepare students for a successful career? Do you like to work with companies to see your research applied?
Job Description
Due to students' strong interest in the programs that we offer and companies' strong interest in the research that we perform, we are looking for two new colleagues in Operations Management with a focus on Supply Chain Management, Maintenance Optimization, or Manufacturing Systems.
Today, we see 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. To further aid in this transition, we are looking for two Assistant Professors for the Operations, Planning, Accounting and Control (OPAC) group. We are looking for one Assistant Professor with a focus on Supply Chain Management and one Assistant Professor with a focus on Maintenance Optimization and/or Manufacturing Systems Design.
The OPAC group is part of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)'s Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences Department, which has a worldwide reputation for performing highly impactful research in Operations Management. The OPAC group helps stakeholders across sectors to make smart, informed decisions, thereby contributing to more efficiency, enhanced (environmental) sustainability, better use of resources and reduced costs. The research of the group deals with the control of operational processes, which can be related to supply chains, manufacturing systems, high-tech equipment, distribution, transportation, warehousing, retail, and service processes such as equipment maintenance.
You will initiate, perform, and supervise high-quality research that can be published in good and top journals in the field of operations management. You will apply techniques from a range of methodological and modelling approaches including operations research and machine learning. You are expected to develop a multi-disciplinary research portfolio that has strong emphasis on academic excellence and practical applicability and impact. For that, it is also important to develop a network in industry and obtain funding from or in collaboration with industry.
Job requirementsA meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:
