The department consists of seven divisions and four research centres. Our research is linked to several of Chalmers Areas of Advance.

Information about the division
The Division of Logistics and Transportation is looking to fill an open-rank full time permanent position in logistics and transport. The division pursues a problem-oriented, empirical and inter-disciplinary research, with strong emphasis on industry and societal relevance and high visibility in leading academic journals. Teaching and supervision at all levels (MSc, PhD, executive) are important tasks, and are clearly embedded in research and practical relevance. Currently, we focus on the following key research themes, with environmental sustainability and technology development (in particular IT) as driving forces as well as enablers:
•    Physical distribution structures
•    Sustainable logistics services
•    Supply chain structure and sourcing
•    Operations planning and control
•    Materials handling
•    Freight transport operations and management

Since we have a strong collaborative research culture we look for a candidate who can contribute to existing research focuses as well as develop new areas.

The Division conducts education on both undergraduate and graduate lavel. For this reason, the applicant must have a substantial documented pedagogical experience and we place a great deal of emphasis on the pedagogical portfolio.
