The School of Industrial Engineering of Eindhoven University of
Technology
(TU/e) has a vacancy for a PhD student in Information
Systems/Business
Engineering.
More information:
https://jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/phd-in-information-systems-business-engineering-855538.html
======
The PhD project will be conducted at Eindhoven University of
Technology,
one of the world’s leading research universities. It is well-known
for its
joint research with industry. The research will be conducted at
the
Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences
(IE&IS),
embedded within the Research Group of Information Systems (IS).
The IS
Group studies concepts, methods, techniques, and tools for the
design,
optimization, innovation, and data-driven analysis of information
systems
within business networks and society. It operates in both a strong
international research network and an extensive international
industry
network, particularly in the domains of mobility, health,
services, supply
chains and logistics, and high-tech manufacturing.
======
*Research Project*
The PhD project will focus on the design and application of
concepts,
methods, tools, or theories in either one of the broad research
areas of
business process management, service systems engineering, or
digital
business and platforms. In particular, two alternative research
topics are
considered (which will be decided based on the candidate’s
interest and
background).
The first one focuses on the governance models for digital
platforms.
Digital platforms (such as Amazon, App Store, Airbnb, Uber, App
Store,
Twitter) are transforming economies with new business models.
Simply put,
digital platforms are socio-technical systems that allow multiple
actors -
including providers and customers- to interact to co-create value.
The PhD
candidate will investigate governance models for digital platforms
particularly in the mobility domain and will have the opportunity
to
collaborate with a number of industry partners in a European-Union
(EU)
funded project.
The second alternative focuses on developing patterns for process
and/or
business model innovation. Relevant topics include digital
innovation and
transformation, business model management, value co-creation, and
explorative business process management (BPM). The PhD candidate
will be a
member of a young research team that has been running a series of
industry
and EU-funded research projects on the above-mentioned topics in
the
mobility, logistics, services, and healthcare domains.
======
