Phd Student on “Logistics Optimization: A Human-Centric Approach” (d/f/m)

Job description

Job Description: Airbus Operations is looking for a PhD Student on “Logistics Optimization: A Human-Centric Approach” (d/f/m) Are you looking for a PhD in industry in collaboration with a university? Would you like to discover how combinatorial optimization and human centric decision making applies to industrial systems? Then apply now! We look forward to you joining us as a PhD student (d/f/m) at Airbus Central R&T (35 hours/week, flexi-time). Location: Hamburg: Start: as soon as possible: Duration: 36 months: This PhD proposal aims to redefine industrial logistics optimization by focusing on human factors and the specific requirements of industrial architects, moving beyond traditional cost-centric Key Performance Indicators.. Unlike conventional optimization, industrial architects might perceive "optimal" differently, where alongside quantitative metrics, additional requirements such as resilience/ robustness, operational flow, adaptability, and safety, play a central role. The human factors-driven perspective is central, recognizing humans not just as operators but as integral to system design and performance. This addresses a significant research gap in systematically integrat...
