THE INSTITUTE
For more than 20 years, the Institute of Automotive Management and Industrial Production (AIP) has demonstrated proven research competence in the sustainable design, planning, and control of industrial production and logistics systems. Our guiding principle is to link scientific research with industrial practice. In interdisciplinary teams, we work on challenging business issues. To strengthen our team we are looking for a Reseach Assistant (m/f/d) as soon as possible, initially limited to 3 years. The possibility of a PhD is given, its realization is desired.
YOUR TASKS
The availability of sufficient infrastructure will be an important prerequisite for achieving sustainable mobility in the coming years. For hydrogen-based mobility, the technical characteristics and locations of filling stations in particular must be determined for this purpose. Their supply with the necessary energy carriers must also be taken into account. This requires interdisciplinary considerations at the interface of economics and technology. The considered interrelationships are complex, so that quantitative planning approaches (Operations Research) are used.

As a part of an interdisciplinary team at the Chair of Production and Logistics, your focus is on answering selected business management questions on infrastructure design for hydrogen-based mobility. The goal is to support different actors in strategic decision-making by applying and further developing quantitative methods of operations research and by using commercial simulation and optimization tools.
YOUR QUALIFICATION
- Completed Master's degree in industrial engineering, technology-oriented management, business informatics, economics, or comparable courses of study at a scientific university
- Knowledge of quantitative planning methods (optimization, simulation) and their implementation in appropriate software (e.g. AIMMS, Plant Simulation)
- Interest in working on application-oriented research projects
- Confident appearance and independent, professional working style
- Skilled in written and spoken English (and preferably German)
The average weekly working time is 39.8 hours. The position is basically suitable for part-time work, but should be filled at 100 percent. Depending on the assignment of tasks and fulfillment of personal requirements, payment will be made up to pay group 13 TV-L. The Technische Universität Braunschweig aims to increase the proportion of women in academic positions and explicitly invites women to apply. Severely disabled persons will be given preference in the case of equal suitability. Proof must be enclosed. Applications from people of all nationalities are welcome. Personal data will be stored for the purposes of the application process. Application costs cannot be reimbursed
