Teaching activities: reverse logistics and short supply chains, sustainability aspects (short supply chains, electric vehicles for urban delivery, use of public transport for urban freight deliveries, etc.).
Research activities: Competencies in operations management applied to supply chain, in process and data modelling, in operations research, in simulation and in data science are expected. An experience considering challenges and constraints of sustainable development in the research works is expected. Soft skills, like curiosity, collaborative capability, adaptability, open minded etc., will be considered
