Deadline: 8th October 2012
DTU Transport invites applications for a 3-year PhD position starting fall of 2012. The PhD project is financed by the Danish Maritime cluster.
The PhD project concerns the use of transport optimization (operations research) within maritime logistics. The candidate is expected to work on applications related to maritime network design and intermodal operations at container terminals. An example of a possible subject is exact and heuristic algorithms for the multi commodity capacitated network design problem and its application to liner shipping.
The candidate is expected to contribute to teaching at the department. Topics will be related to maritime logistics and the language will be English.
The PhD project will be carried out under the supervision of Associate Professor Stefan Røpke.
Requirements
Candidates must have a master degree in transport optimisation, operations research, mathematics, computer science, or equivalent academic qualifications, preferable with some experiences with transport applications.
