About the position
We are recruiting a Ph D student for three to four years to conduct research on sustainable Logistics and Mobility, at the Department of Industrial Management of the School of Engineering in tight collaboration with the MIT Media Lab through the City Science Lab Gipuzkoa project (https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/city-science-lab-san-sebastian/overview/)
The Sustainable Improvement Group aims to promote, develop, and disseminate the research carried out to help companies to become more circular and sustainable. Specifically, the research to be carried out in this thesis has a dual purpose, aiming to provide both private companies and institutions with tools to acknowledge the impacts on the sustainability of companies’ operations, while revealing current mobility improvement opportunities, and quantifying the impacts of potential interventions. This twofold application fosters the synchronization between the development of new policies and the solutions that are aligned with those. We aim to deal with the company as a whole, therefore it includes people mobility as well as freight mobility.
The Ph D student will be working collaborative on a broader project of the City Science Lab Gipuzkoa. We expect to have daily interaction with the City Science Lab researchers and plan to have a co-supervisor of the Ph D with an affiliated researcher at MIT.
The project will be approached by crossing data from different sources of information and making use of cutting-edge simulation and data analysis methodologies within the framework of the projects to be addressed in the City Science Lab Gipuzkoa.
