CALL FOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP
University of Coimbra opens a call for two research fellowship, in the framework of the project “FuturePharma” (reference: PTDC/EME-SIS/6019/2020), financed by national funds (PIDDAC) through the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology I.P./MCTES,in the following conditions:
Scientific area: Operational Investigation.
Skills/Qualifications/Admission requirements: Master’s in Industrial Engineering and Management or compatible with knowledge of simulation and combinatorial optimization, quantitative and qualitative analyzes and development of complex operations management models and spoken and written english, enrolled in a doctorate or non-degree course.
“Courses not conferring an academic degree” must be related to the research fellowship’s activity type. “Courses not conferring an academic degree” are the courses referred to in paragraph e) of number 3 of article 4 of Decree-Law no. 74/2006, of 24 March, in the current wording, provided that they are developed in association or cooperation between the higher education institution and one or more R&D units, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph e) of article 3 of the Regulation for Research Fellowships of the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.
The Research Fellowship Holder Statute, on the nº 5 of article 6, only allows the Research Fellowship to be assigned to graduates or masters enrolled in a non-degree course to those who don’t excede two years total of different research fellowships.
Although the recipients must be enrolled in a cycle of studies leading to the attribution of an academic degree or in a course not conferring an academic degree, at the time of application it is not necessary for the candidate to have made such an enrollment, and proof of enrollment must be presented until thefellowship is contractualized. Candidates are only required to meet the requirements to enroll in the training offer. If there are candidates already enrolled (including attending a course), they compete on an equal footing with those who are not enrolled.

The supply chain of the future must guarantee aggressively short response times, even in scenarios of high product and process diversification.
The plan of activities to be carried out includes the following macro tasks:
1. identify and characterize the main components and resolution strategies to support the decision-making of large-scale optimization problems;
2. develop, validate and test large-scale optimization algorithms for pharmaceutical chain design;
3. propose concepts and operating strategies for pharmaceutical supply chains;
4. write two scientific articles with potential for publication in international journals..
