2 PhD Positions in Operations Management with Healthcare Applications

The healthcare system is veering towards unaffordability. Are you inspired to tackle this challenge and revolutionize the complete system, ensuring accessibility to affordable medicines for everyone? Join us, and by addressing industry, government, societal perspectives, and medicine production operations from a quantitative perspective, you'll shape policies and optimize operational decision-making with the ultimate goal of affordable, personalized medicines.

Unlock the potential of affordable healthcare solutions! Two fully funded PhD positions are available in the VIDI project of Tugce Martagan (see: https://www.tue.nl/en/news-and-events/news-overview/prestigieuze-vidi-be...) in collaboration with Collin Drent and Melvin Drent. The healthcare landscape is changing drastically to find the delicate balance between affordable access to medicines, innovation, and industry concerns.

This project adopts an objective and balanced approach to (bio)pharmaceutical drug supply chains from the joint perspectives of the government, industry, payers (major health insurance companies), hospitals and pharmacies. Notably, we place particular emphasis on a quantitative modeling (e.g. using mathematical concepts from game theory, stochastic optimization) approach towards this problem.
