• SCM is one of three critical business transformations covered by the department and is focused on transforming the sector into sustainable global supply chains. The SCM section at RSM consists of some 50 faculty and PhD students.
• We teach methodological and analytical courses in RSM's two bachelor programmes and several of its full-time and part-time master programmes. Our specialised MSc in Supply Chain Management is ranked among the best programmes in the world. The SCM section is one of the founding members of the MScBA in Business Analytics & Management.

• Under normal circumstances the successful candidate will work on campus; restrictions due to Covid-19 may require working remotely using online teaching or blended learning (a combination of online and on-campus activities, with passive streaming of on-campus activities) until on-campus teaching resumes. Erasmus University Rotterdam follows the guidelines from the government and the RIVM.
