We are open to any research area within Operations Management that would further strengthen KLU's academic position, including emphasis on any relevant functional area, including for example sourcing, supply chain management, warehousing, and transport.

Teaching will be primarily in the domains of (green) logistics, operations management, operations research, sourcing and/or supply chain management. Teaching is conducted in all of our programs: undergraduate, Master, PhD, and executive. Like other faculty, the professor will also take part in industry outreach and university service activities.
Applicants need to have completed a PhD in operations management, operations research, industrial engineering, or a related discipline.
Teaching load is attractive, with about three quarter-length courses as the nominal load, and may include teaching at the undergraduate, master and PhD level, as well as executive education. Language of instruction is English.
