Dear colleagues,

first of all, happy new year and best wishes for 2024!

It would be great if you could forward the hints to our Ph.D. program and Ph.D. positions to appropriate Master Students:

We are inviting applications for our structured Ph.D. program in Operations Management at the Center for Doctoral Studies in Business (CDSB), please see this flyer for details on fully funded scholarships. Our program trains outstanding talents to apply theoretical, data-driven, or empirical analysis to advance knowledge in predictive and prescriptive business analytics. Application areas are broad with projects in manufacturing, call centers & health care systems, and distribution & airports. The methodological focus can be in stochastic modelling, data-driven optimization, or optimization algorithms, see for examples some current research directions.

Alternatively, a direct start in my research group is possible, for example in a common research project with Benjamin Legros (EM Normandie, Paris) on the design and management of stochastic retrial operations systems where products or customers return to the system after a certain time, see here for more details.

Note that the early application deadline is January-15, 2024; the final application deadline is March-30, 2024. In case of questions, please feel free to contact me, I am happy to provide additional information.

Best,

Raik
