Offer Description

The Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management (TPM) invites applications for a Academic Career Track position (with a focus on education) as an assistant professor in Transport and Logistics Systems.

The position is established within the Transport and Logistics (TLO) group, which is part of the department of Engineering Systems and Services (ESS) at TPM. The TLO group strongly contributes to the culture of excellence which makes TU Delft one of the most well-known places worldwide to study transport and logistics.

We are looking for candidates who have a system perspective and have strong policy, design, modeling, or analytical skills to teach and research transport and logistics topics on macro (and meso) levels.

TLO offers the opportunity to perform cutting-edge multidisciplinary research with high societal impact. With our new hire, we have the ambition to maintain and further enhance our reputation as a place for highly influential research and teaching in transport and logistics systems.

Requirements
Specific Requirements

Applicants should have (or expect to complete soon) a PhD in Transport, Logistics, or Supply Chain Management or a closely related field, from a reputed academic institution.

The candidate should possess (or have a clear ambition to obtain) broad expertise in the field of Transport and Logistics at a system level, and she or he is expected to have a multidisciplinary attitude. Successful candidates have a knowledge base that is not confined to e.g., only one mode of transport or micro-level modeling.

Candidates need to demonstrate a clear potential for excellence in teaching and research.

The to-be-hired Academic Career Track assistant professor will actively contribute to education at all levels, including supervision and tutoring of students, collaborating with other research groups inside the department (Energy & Industry, and ICT) and faculty, and help to maintain a high level of academic impact and international visibility of the TLO group and the ESS department.
