4-year Postdoc Operations Research

3 weken geleden

Rotterdam, Nederland Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam Voltijd

**Introduction**:
Hospitals are responsible for keeping people healthy, but unfortunately this is fulfilled at a cost of environmental impact and hazards beyond the hospital. Their current operation and resource management practice result in excessive use of raw materials, generation of waste(water), and induces greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental hazards in the associated medical supply chain around the world. In The Netherlands, the health care sector is accounted for 7% of national emissions and 13% of national footprint of material extraction.

EU and the Dutch government have called for a more sustainable and circular healthcare system. The healthcare professionals have also started pursuing a more sustainable material use and waste management in their systems. However, hospitals are dealing with a large variety of different (single use) medical consumables and transition of the entire sector will take decades. Moreover, circularity-based interventions may potentially compromise the hygiene and bring risk to patients and workers. A comprehensive technical-economic-environmental assessment of all potential circularity interventions and their trade-offs is required to prioritize actions and a decision-making framework is needed to design a dynamic and adaptive transition pathway towards circular hospitals.

**Job description**:
Your duties and responsibilities include:

- The development of Operations Research models to support the establishment of a novel design toolbox which embeds all crucial interventions and their trade-offs to aid a successful transition towards a circular hospital.
- To advise on how a transition towards circular hospitals could and should take place over time in a sustainable, safe and feasible manner.
- To iteratively develop, test and validate the Operations Research models, toolbox and transition pathways with stakeholders from Dutch hospitals and their supply chains.
- To publish the research findings, the toolbox and the transition pathway map in leading international academic journals and platforms, and communicate across disciplines, project partners and stakeholders.
- To participate in the supervision of MSc and BSc thesis research and other teaching activities related to the project.
- The research is embedded within the Econometric Institute, Erasmus School of Economics, where you will be a member of the Operations Research subgroup. You will be co-supervised by dr. Wilco van den Heuvel and prof.dr. Albert Wagelmans.

**Job requirements**:

- A PhD in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Industrial Engineering or a related field.
- You have skills and experience with quantitative modeling, data analysis, programming languages (e.g., R, Python or Java) and optimization tools (e.g., Cplex or Gurobi).
- Affinity and proven experience with sustainability and/or healthcare is a plus.
- You are able to think in and work with multidisciplinary research approaches.
- You have affinity with working as a team player and you are proactive in your work, involved actively in your working environment and capable of independently addressing and solving research problems.
- Excellent command of English.

**Employment conditions and benefits**:
We offer you an internationally oriented and varied job in an enthusiastic team, with excellent working conditions in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO-NU).

The preferred starting date is January 1st 2025, although earlier or later starting dates can be discussed. You will be based at Campus Woudestein at Erasmus School of Economics (ESE). This position is for 1 fte. The salary is dependent on your experience and knowledge and ranges from a minimum of € 4.492 to a maximum of € 6.148 gross per month (scale 11) on a fulltime basis (38 hours), in accordance with the CAO-NU.

Everything else we offer you, you can find below
- Everything you need for a **good work-life balance**: the option to work from home in consultation with your manager, 41 days of paid leave with a 40 hour contract, 8% holiday pay and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus, and a significant discount on a subscription for our on-campus sports centre
- Time and space for your development in the broadest sense: development days and a personal career budget, foreign exchange opportunities with most costs paid by EUR, and free access to our university library.
- Good pension with ABP that EUR contributes 2/3rds towards, discounts on various collective insurances with Zilveren Kruis Achmea, Loyalis, and Allianz, and compensation for travel, working from home and home internet use.
