The Department of Technology, Management and Economics is looking for an associate or tenure track assistant professor in the area of Healthcare Operations & Analytics. Do you want to shape the future of healthcare in the era of digitalization with a focus on quantitative research? Then we have the right opportunity for you.

Creating impactful (digital) healthcare services is a crucial objective for contemporary politics, society, and the economy, particularly during crises. A transition towards outpatient care through digital technologies is anticipated. Within this framework, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as the pivotal technology for digital transformation. A vital determinant of success will be the understanding and implementation of AI and optimization in decision-making processes to enhance the provision and delivery of healthcare services.

The position will be part of the Management Science division at the department. We are an internationally recognised research group within operations research and operations management applied across various areas such as maritime, supply chain, and healthcare management.
