We are looking for two talented and ambitious individuals with the vision of applying theoretical knowledge of Operations Research to address real-world problems in collaboration with business partners. You will work on the EU Horizon 2020 project PortForward that aims to enhance the sustainability of maritime shipping by making the Port of the Future smarter, greener and more interconnected. The PortForward consortium employs a combination of optimisation, decision support, and ICT/IoT solutions to reduce environmental impacts of port operations while improving cost- and service-oriented KPIs by facilitating information flows between ports and port communities.
You will primarily work on the 'Green Scheduling and Sustainability of Operations' work package led by Brunel University London and contribute to the other work packages of the project in collaboration with other members of the PortForward consortium including technology and port partners from Germany, Spain, Italy, Norway, Belgium, and Greece.
