[Pekka Orponen]

Call for a postdoc position on the topic “A dynamic analysis of

supply-chain networks and their disruption”

Supply chains are the intricate networks of organizations, people,
activities, information, and resources involved in the production and
distribution of goods and services. They are vulnerable to disruptions,
which can be caused by a wide range of factors and can have profound
consequences. Organizations are increasingly aware of the need to build
more resilient supply chains. In the face of disruption, supply chain
management is a critical function.

A supply chain is modeled as a network whose vertices are firms and whose
edges represent their interactions. The network evolves dynamically, and
may be affected by sudden disruptions. Many of the existing supply-chain
models are static and, when dealing with disruptions, compare pre- and
post-shock equilibria. In real life, the effects of disruption take time to
spread across the network. Understanding this temporal element is
fundamental for taking mitigating actions. The main goal of this project is
to study dynamic models of supply-chain disruption. The formal analysis of
this phenomenon will use tools from network theory, probability theory,
game theory, operations management, optimization, dynamical systems,
machine learning, data science. We are looking for a candidate who has a
strong expertise in at least one of the above fields.
