<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">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.</span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">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.</span></p>
