PHD POSITION OPERATIONS RESEARCH AND LOGISTICS IN DIGITAL CITIES

Job description
We are looking for a PhD student for the project Operations Research and Logistics in Digital
Cities.
The position is linked to a large initiative by VSNU, the Dutch association of universities, on the
development towards a Digital Society (https://www.thedigitalsociety.info/). The background
of this initiative is that digital information technology is becoming ever more deeply and rapidly
entrenched in our society. This comes with new challenges and opportunities to cities and its
citizens.

Within the Digital Society, one of the research themes deals with Digital Cities & Communities.
Digital technologies can help to create infrastructures that efficiently and flexibly manage
urbanization, population growth, mobility, effects of climate change and transition to greater
sustainability. Digital technologies deliver massive amounts of data from which a wide variety of
stakeholders can optimize their services and collaborations. The resulting 'smart cities' will
provide their citizens safety and livability, and interact optimally with surrounding rural
communities, requiring the collaboration of governmental, corporate, and civic actors who will
have both common and opposing interests. The overall question for this program line is: which
forms of multi-stakeholder collaborations and data science can be developed and engaged for
the public challenges that smart cities and communities face?

From an operations research and logistics perspective, the development towards digital cities
leads to many challenges related to the flows of goods in metropolitan areas, e.g. related to the
regular distribution to the retail industry as well as the foodservice industry, the growing pressure
of parcel delivery services, or the increasing focus on waste collection in the circular economy.
Research could then also focus on how to combine physical and online retail to make shopping
more convenient while keeping metropolitan areas lively, how to efficiently design distribution
networks in metropolitan areas to reduce congestion and environmental impacts, or how to
provide support to the transition to a circular economy by developing methods for design and
operation of logistics services for waste streams that can be recycled or reused. During the
project specific research questions will be formulated depending a.o. on the interest of the PhD
candidate and other stakeholders.

The research focusses on developing and using (Operations Research/mathematical) models

and methods that are built on increasingly available data. The outcome of the project facilitate
data-driven decision support to relevant stakeholders in metropolitan areas (from citizens, private
companies to governmental institutions).

Requirements
For this position, a candidate has an MSc in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Data
Science, or a similar degree program. The candidate has excellent research skills and proven
analytical abilities. Excellent communication skills and proficiency in English (both oral and
written) are prerequisites.

,
Conditions of employment
We offer a full-time position (38 hours), initially for 18 months, after which a go/no go decision will
be taken on an extension for an additional 30 months. Gross salary per month € 2222 in the first
year rising to € 2840 per month in the fourth year, based on a full-time appointment. In addition,
we offer a holiday allowance of 8% and an end-of-the-year bonus of 8.3% of your annual salary.
Starting date as soon as possible/fall 2018.

Employer

Wageningen University & Research

The project Operations Research and Logistics in Digital Cities is carried out at Wageningen
University and Research Centre. The candidate will be based at the Operations Research and
Logistics group and collaborate with stakeholders in metropolitan regions.

Operations Research and Logistics group

Operations Research and Logistics is a chair group in the department of Social Sciences that
conducts research and provides education on the application and development of Operations
Research techniques in the design of effective logistics concepts in agribusiness and food chains
and networks. Central in the problem characteristics of our research projects is increasing
decision making complexity, dynamics, and uncertainty whilst dealing with the specific
characteristics of our domain. Essential is a multidisciplinary research approach that combines
advances in the fields of Logistics Management and Operations Research.

About the job

At Google, data drives all of our decision-making. Data Scientists work all across
the organization to help shape Google's business and technical strategies by
processing, analyzing and interpreting huge data sets. Using analytical rigor and
statistical methods, you mine through data to identify opportunities for Google and
our clients to operate more efficiently, from enhancing advertising efficacy to
network infrastructure optimization to studying user behavior. As an analyst, you
do more than just crunch the numbers. You work with Engineers, Product
Managers, Sales Associates and Marketing teams to adjust Google's practices
according to your findings. Identifying the problem is only half the job; you also
figure out the solution.

As a member of the Operations Decision Support team, you will apply operations
research and statistical methods to solve challenges related to compute, storage,
network, and datacenter capacity for both Google’s internal services and Google
Cloud Platform. You will work broadly across Google’s Platforms Engineering,
Systems Infrastructure, and Site Reliability Engineering teams to optimize our
deployment of resources and drive innovation in our software stack, allowing for
efficient use of resources.

As a Data Scientist, you will think critically and strategically about Google’s cloud
as a technology, a business, and as an operation. You will be comfortable
discussing total cost of management with hardware engineers, resource
optimization with software engineers, or reviewing fleet plans and deployment
policies with operations executives, all based upon the analytical models that you
will be developing.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical
Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data
centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's
product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love
voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We're always on
call to keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and
fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

 Lead projects with hands-on analysis and modeling, drawing from multiple of
analytical methods to choose the right tool and right level of complexity
appropriate for the business challenges.
 Engage broadly with the organization to identify, prioritize, frame, and structure
complex and ambiguous challenges, where advanced analytics projects or tools
can have the biggest impact.
 Identify and communicate the challenges and opportunities that the group should
be working on.
 Help define the analytical direction and influence the direction of the associated
engineering and infrastructure work.
 Articulate business questions and use mathematical techniques to arrive at an
answer using data. Translate analysis results into business recommendations.
