Job description

The Center for Analysis, Scientific Computing, and Applications (CASA) is part of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Eindhoven University of Technology.
CASA conducts research and provides undergraduate and graduate education in theoretical and numerical analysis, with a wide range of applications.

Within CASA, the Computational Science group focuses on numerical methods for (partial) differential equations, model order reduction, and scientific machine learning, particularly for the efficient solution of differential equations in the context of data assimilation, control, optimization, inverse problems, Bayesian methods, uncertainty quantification, and optimal experimental design.  For this position, we are looking for an applied mathematician with expertise in one or more of these fields, and an interest in exploring connections not only to current developments in applied mathematics, but also to applications through academic and industrial collaborations in fields such as medicine, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, geophysics, and others. 

Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (M&CS)

With over 100 (assistant, associate and full) professors, almost 200 PhD and PDEng students, about 1100 Bachelor students and 600 Master students, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (M&CS) is the largest department of the TU/e. By performing top-level fundamental and applied research, and maintaining strong ties with industry, M&CS aims to contribute to science and to innovation in and beyond the region.

This is reflected in a rich portfolio of projects and grants that our professors attract (including ERC and national level personal grants, H2020, NWO, and industry co-funded projects). M&CS is offering high-quality educational programs including multiple Bachelor and Master programs, all fully taught in English.

The department’s relationship with the high-tech industry in the Brainport region means that interested staff and students can contribute directly to the development of technological innovations with real-world relevance. The department has produced a number of successful spin-offs and participates in many national and international research consortia.

An important aspect of TU/e’s vision on education is that research and education go hand in hand, both at Bachelor and Master level. The TU/e helps its scientific staff to further develop their teaching skills by offering a training program that leads to an official teaching certification from Dutch Universities (Basic Teaching Qualification).

Job requirements

  • PhD in applied mathematics or a comparable domain;
  • Proficiency in teaching, preferably documented by positive evaluations;
  • Creativity and dedication to (multidisciplinary) collaboration;
  • Strong communication, organization, and leadership skills;
  • Strong cooperation skills and the ability to work in a team;
  • Fluency (written and verbal) in English. The working language in the department and across the university is English.

Conditions of employment

  • A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university with the autonomy to develop your own research line and participate in the curriculum of the department. 
  • As an Irène Curie Fellow, you are entitled to a substantial start-up package to kick-off your career.  
  • You will have free access to high-quality training programs for academic leadership, the university teaching qualification program, research and valorization competences, and a dedicated mentoring program to help you get to know the university and the Dutch (research) environment. 
  • Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement for Dutch Universities. This includes an annual holiday allowance of 8% of the yearly salary and a year-end allowance of 8.3% of the annual salary. 
  • A broad package of fringe benefits, including an excellent technical infrastructure, moving expenses, and savings schemes.  
  • Family-friendly initiatives are in place, such as the Dual Career Opportunity program to support accompanying partners, an international spouse program, and excellent on-campus children daycare and sports facilities.
