Working Student – Applied mathematical optimization (all genders)

The »Optimization« group deals with methods of mathematical optimization (e.g., linear, mixed-integer, stochastic, or robust optimization) to support the planning and control of logistical and industrial processes along the supply chain and methodically related fields.

• Data Analytics Projects: You will assist us with specific data analytics projects, such as “OpEn_NeD” (Optimized Operational Control in Decentralized Heating Networks), “SEKURE” (Cross-Sector Implementation of Resilience) and “RELIEF-MED” (Building Resilient Supply Chains for an Efficient and Fair Supply of Medicines) in the areas of modeling, implementation, and evaluation.
• Data Collection & Research: You will be responsible for data collection and preparation, as well as research within the scope of our diverse research and industry projects.
• Mathematical Optimization: You will contribute to the application and further development mathematical optimization methods in various contexts.

• Organize your schedule: Benefit from flexible working hours that are perfectly compatible with your studies.
• Become part of a creative team: Experience an open and friendly working atmosphere in which your ideas are valued.
• Variety that inspires: Look forward to divers tasks that inspire and challenge you.

• Innovation that inspires: Exciting and pioneering projects that make a real difference.

We will agree your start date and weekly working hours with you individually (as a working student 8 to 20 hours per week or for an internship at least three months). You can reduce your hours before exams and increase them during semester breaks. You can set your working days flexibly. After your studies, there are attractive opportunities to join the institute on a full-time or part-time basis. You can flexibly determine the working days of your fixed-term employment contract.

 We would be happy to offer you the opportunity to write a bachelor's or master's thesis in cooperation with us in the above-mentioned subject area. The thesis will be assigned and carried out in accordance with the rules of your university. For this reason, please discuss the thesis with a professor who can advise you over the course of the project.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity.
