Are you interested in digital twins, blockchain and AI technologies? Are you an excellent researcher in Operations Management? Do you have expertise in high-tech manufacturing or maintenance operations? Do you have the passion to teach a broad range of courses that prepare students for a successful career? Do you like to work with high-tech companies to see your research applied?
We are looking for two or three new Assistant Professors for the Operations, Planning, Accounting and Control (OPAC) group. Applications at Associate Professor level will also be taken into consideration.
You will initiate, perform, and supervise high-quality research in operations management in the exciting domain of Industry 4.0. Depending on your background and expertise, your research will focus on or more of the following topics:
- Operational planning and control of manufacturing systems, based on real-time data and
AI technology;
- Application of novel (digital) manufacturing technologies, such as digital twins, cloud manufacturing, blockchain, and additive manufacturing;
- Design and control of resilient and sustainable manufacturing supply chains, consisting of OEMs and (first tier and higher) suppliers.
You are expected to develop a multi-disciplinary research portfolio that has strong emphasis on applicability and impact in high-tech industry.
The OPAC group helps stakeholders across sectors to make smart, informed decisions, thereby contributing to more efficiency, enhanced sustainability, better use of resources and improved Total Cost of Ownership. The research of the group deals with the control of operational processes, which can be related to manufacturing systems, distribution, transportation, warehousing, retail, and service processes such as equipment maintenance.
Today, we are seeing 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.
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)'s Industrial Engineering and Innovations Sciences Department has a worldwide reputation for performing highly impactful research in Operations Management.
