  • Further development of simulation methods and tools through integration of Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data into simulation models of logistics processes
  • Development of logistical solutions for new concepts of production, such as matrix production
  • Digital technologies, such as Blockchain or Machine Learning, and their impact on logistics.

The person appointed to the post will teach courses in different degree programs of the School of Management and Technology, at both undergraduate and graduate level. Experience with teaching and student supervision in the field of Technical Logistics is required. Collaboration with industry partners requires a good command of both English and German.
