Task:
You will work on a project within SE²A which will analyze the behavior of the future airtransport system in
the presence of new types of propulsion system. To this end, a combination of system dynamics and
agent-based simulations will be developed, to promote a sound understanding of the future scenarios
pertaining to different business strategies of aircraft manufacturing and fuel production firms, and assess
potential policies that promote the adoption of new emissions reducing technologies in the air transport
system. In this context, you will work with scientists from different disciplines to contribute to the
sustainable development of the aviation sector. Overall, you can expect interesting and challenging tasks
in fundamental and application-oriented research. The opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. degree is given and
encouraged.
Who we are looking for:
- Completed scientific higher education (master, university diploma) in industrial engineering,
technology-oriented management, business economics, or a similar field of study
- Understanding of the air transport system and interest in its future development
- Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills
- High level of proficiency English (written and spoken)
- First knowledge and experience in the area of simulation (preferably System Dynamics or Agentbased
simulation) and familiarity with simulation software (e.g., Vensim)
- High motivation and pronounced interest in scientific work
