We are seeking for
KLU hereby announces one full scholarship for enrollment in the KLU PhD program. PhD students receive their own generous annual research and training budget. Academic publications in top journals, participation in international research conferences, and international research stays are strongly supported.
The scholarship enables four years of independent research under supervision by two academic supervisors of KLU’s outstanding faculty. KLU provides a collegial, active, and inspiring international research environment. PhD students are embedded in research groups and the university-wide and supportive PhD community. For this PhD project, KLU is collaborating with the Kuehne Climate Center (KCC). The KCC develops and implements logistics-focused solutions to accelerate the transition to a just, low-carbon society by reducing emissions, removing carbon, and strengthening resilience.
The scholarship holder is expected to conduct research about “Operations Research for Logistics in Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR).” Operations Research as a discipline encompasses the development and application of quantitative models and methods for decision support. CDR describes the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, using different technologies (e.g., enhanced weathering). The PhD scholarship will be awarded for applying operations research methods to selected CDR problems.
The ideal candidate is interested in pursuing an academic career in research or teaching, and has strong communication and analytical skills. The project involves mathematical modeling and programming (e.g., Python). Candidates should possess prior experience in these areas or demonstrate the capability to work with similar methods. At the same time, the project explores a new research field, requiring candidates to deal with data uncertainty while ensuring that the obtained insights are meaningful and practical. The candidate should be able to communicate the results to a broader (non-expert) audience.
Kühne Logistics University
Kühne Logistics University is a private research university in Hamburg, Germany. Its 34 faculty span various management and logistics disciplines, with an objective to foster knowledge, education, and outreach in order to enhance leadership within the logistics industry and the logistics function.
In its first decade, KLU has managed to establish an outstanding research reputation, as is clear in research rankings and in KLU’s faculty publishing in the world’s top journals in several disciplines.
Since its foundation in 2010, KLU has been enabling PhD students to become outstanding and influential academics, with research excellence and a good eye for the industry we study and serve. As the first graduates start their academic and industry careers, KLU has the full right to award doctoral degrees.
