We are searching for strong candidates who can tap into an overarching focus on physical production, including production networks, the relationship between product development and production, engineering processes, and understanding of engineering practices, roles and relationships – always with an eye towards technology and/or operations.

Candidates are expected to teach and supervise students at bachelor’s and master’s level. Associate professors are also expected to supervise PhD students. Our study programmes include an MSc in Engineering (Technology Based Business Development) as well as Bachelor of Engineering programmes in Forretningsudvikling (Business Development) and Global Management and Manufacturing (supply chain/production). Hence, candidates should be able to teach courses in one or more of the following domains: operations management, supply chain management, management of technology, and technology-based business development.
