Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands) has an open position for a PostDoctoral Researcher in Operations Management
Reference number: V39.1587
The School of Industrial Engineering is one of the longest-established IE Schools in Europe, with a strong presence in the international research and education community, especially in the field of Operations Management and Operations Research. OM and OR are at the core of the undergraduate IE program. The graduate programs (MSc and PhD) in Operations Management & Logistics attract top-level students from all over the world. Researchers in the School are member of the Beta research school and participate in industrial activities with members of the European Supply Chain Forum.
The School of Industrial Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of Operations Management. The group Operations, Planning, Accounting and Control (OPAC) conducts research in the area of Operations Management, with specific emphasis on
- Planning and Control in Manufacturing, Services, and Supply Chains;
- Distribution Logistics;
- Maintenance and Reliability;
- Finance and Accounting, oriented towards operational processes.
Research is generally quantitative in nature, while many of the researchers also engage in empirical research. All research is embedded in Beta, the KNAW-recognized research school for Operations Management & Logistics.
Tasks
The PostDoc will be working in the project “Cargo-driven intermodal distribution”, which has recently been funded by Dinalog (www.dinalog.nl). In the project, which is a collaboration with our partners at Delft University of Technology, RSM Erasmus University, the Port of Rotterdam and a number of logistics service providers, networks of fresh produce container cargo will be modeled. The PostDoc will specifically model this container flow, using both simplified analytical models and extensive, close-to-real-life simulation models to be used as decision support by the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Depending on the exact length of the appointment, the PostDoc researcher will spend 70-90% of his/her time on research and 10-30% of his/her time on education.
Requirements
For the PostDoc researcher positions, the applicant should have completed (or be close to completion of) a PhD degree in industrial engineering, operations research, econometrics, logistics, or operations management, with a solid background in analytical, optimization and simulation methods. The candidate’s file should demonstrate evidence of the ability to interact with industry and/or policy makers, since this is a key part of the project. An excellent command of the English language is required; a command of the Dutch language a (non-required) plus.
We offer
- a challenging job in a dynamic and ambitious University;
- a PostDoc appointment for a period of 2 years, starting as soon as possible;

- a broad package of fringe benefits (including an excellent technical infrastructure, child care, moving expenses, savings schemes and excellent sports facilities);
- for foreign staff, and for those who qualify it might be possible to apply for a tax break of max. 30% on your salary from the Dutch tax office (the TU/e will help you with the application). This is only for staff who has never previously worked in The Netherlands and who qualify for the 30% ruling.

SUSTAINABILITY, TRADE AND ENVIRONMENT
(Technology, Globalization, and Sustainable Development)
Nicholas A. Ashford, PhD, JD
Professor of Technology and Policy
In addition to technological innovation, the globalization of trade is increasingly seen as the driving force of industrial economies. The establishment of the World Trade Organization, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and other trading regimes raises serious questions concerning their effects on sustainability, which must be viewed broadly to include not only a healthy economic base, but also a sound environment, stable employment, adequate purchasing power, distributional equity, national self-reliance, and maintenance of cultural integrity. This seminar explores the many dimensions of sustainability and the use of national, multinational and international political, legal, and economic mechanisms to further sustainable development. The inter-relationship of global economic/financial changes, the environment employment, and worker health & safety in the context of theories of development, trade, and employment, and the importance of networks and organizational learning are examined. Mechanisms for resolving the apparent conflicts between development, environment, and employment are explored.

Here is a technology…now what? If you aspire to learn how to take a technology past the lab, take 10.807/15.371 this fall!
iTeams (“Innovation Teams”, course 10.807/15.371) is a class offered jointly between the Schools of Engineering and Management. Students choose from a set of breakthrough technologies selected by the Class Faculty from MIT labs on the basis of their excitement and commercial potential. Working with 3-5 class peers plus an industry “Catalyst”, the i-Team focuses throughout the semester on exploring a commercialization strategy for their technology and developing a final recommendation for the next steps and the best vehicle to bring the project to impact (e.g. startup, license, NGO).
You will come out of the class understanding how to build a go-to-market strategy, how to analyze a market and specify its needs, how to identify practical and economically viable applications, how to produce synergy with peers from other disciplines, the importance of intellectual property, and the iterative nature of the innovation process. The course is led by Dr. Luis Perez-Breva from the School of Engineering, Dr. Noubar Afeyan from Flagship Ventures and Sloan, and Prof. Fiona Murray from Sloan and the Entrepreneurship Center.
Students in the class are invited to lectures by inventors, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists. They have the opportunity to network with some of the brightest minds in the MIT entrepreneurial ecosystem.
