The Kühne Logistics University (KLU) in Hamburg solicits applications for a 1-year postdoctoral position (with an option for extension) starting as soon as possible.
Position:
We are seeking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to collaborate in ongoing projects. These projects focus on assessing the resilience of humanitarian supply chains in a country or region and look at how this affects the functionality of supply chains. A Supply Chain Resilience Analysis tool has been developed, intended to identify strengths and weaknesses, as well as related risks and opportunities, in the logistics infrastructure and supply chains. It thereby helps to identify and prioritize the preparedness activities with the greatest impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of supply chain operations and supports the advocacy for allocation of resources. The researcher will play a key role in upgrading the methodology to apply the tool in an inter-agency context as well as with commodities other than food.
The position entails collaboration with different stakeholders across the humanitarian supply chain, writing scientific manuscripts for journal publication, presentation of research results to internal and external audiences, at national and international conferences and meetings, and, as appropriate, proposing new research concepts.
Please find attached more information on the position.
Best regards,
Maria Besiou
