Job Description
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AHMEDABAD
Invites applications for the post of
RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
in Data-driven E-Commerce Order Fulfilment
The focus of this particular project is on e-fulfilment: a term which collectively denotes
warehousing operations, last-mile delivery, and their interdependence. Within the context of
e-fulfilment, we study data-driven optimization. Key to this research is the question of how
data can be used to make better decisions. Data from various sources are available in
abundance: sensor and tracking data (IoT), demand, traffic and weather forecasts, etc. It,
however, remains largely unclear how this data can be used effectively to improve efulfilment. Consequently, the main goal of this project is to develop data-driven optimization
techniques to improve efficiency in e-fulfilment, while reducing costs, increasing customer
satisfaction, and lowering the ecological impact.
Within the context of the project, the candidate will be developing a new methodology, which
typically involves Mathematical programming (Integer and Constraint Programming),
Stochastic optimization, as well as Machine learning.
This project is funded by the
Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Indian Ministry of
Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
The Post-doctoral candidate is expected to pursue scientific research in cooperation with
eCommerce companies, and publish research results in scientific journals. This position is
based out of Ahmedabad, India.
The candidate also participates in the education program and workshops. Applicants for the project should have completed (or be close to completion of) a Ph.D. degree in Operations Research, Computer Science, Econometrics, Mathematics or a comparable domain.
