Erasmus University Rotterdam is offering a PhD project in operations management focused on optimizing emergency services that rely on decentralized and unpredictable capacity sources. The research examines two emerging forms of emergency-response capacity: community first responders who volunteer through smartphone applications, and independent commercial ambulance providers coordinated through emergency platforms. Because these responders are not scheduled, positioned or directly controlled by ...

This PhD project at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) focuses on developing new theory and algorithms for multi-actor transport and logistics systems , where multiple players with potentially conflicting objectives influence one another’s decisions. The position sits at the intersection of operations research , game theory , and mixed-integer optimisation , with the aim of creating methodologies that can capture competition and collaboration among actors in planning and operating complex...
