PhD positions at Technical University of Munich (Doctoral Program in Optimization and Networks)



The doctoral program in Operations Research with focus on “Advanced Optimization in a Networked Economy“ funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) offers several positions for PhD students.



The challenges of a networked economy are fundamental and necessitate new theoretical and applied research. New computational techniques are needed to solve large-scale optimization problems and to handle large data sets; incentive structures have to be considered in situations with multiple decision makers; uncertainties and other dynamics in the parameters of resource allocation problems require new modeling tools and solution strategies. The research program focuses on important application-motivated projects that would benefit from new mathematical and analytical insights, including shared mobility, resource pooling, retail coordination, sales and operations planning, IT management, and airport operations.



Outstanding applicants with a background in mathematics, computer science, operations research, industrial engineering, or a related field will be offered a comprehensive study, training and research program. Specifically designed interdisciplinary projects will help to develop the ability to model, analyze, solve, and implement solutions for challenging real-world problems.  A detailed description of the projects, participating researchers and further information regarding the application process is available at our website:

Application Process



Candidates are expected to hold a Master of Science degree (or, in exceptional cases, an excellent Bachelor degree) in one of the subject matters mentioned above and to have some experience with Operations Research methods. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are required.



We specifically encourage applications by qualified female researchers. Applicants with disabilities are treated with preference given comparable qualification.
