Job description

The successful candidate will come with a strong track record in applied mathematics and show great enthusiasm for developing novel methods within the broad scope of mathematical systems theory. Preferably, the candidate will strengthen and complement the chair’s existing expertise in the control of partial differential equations, model order reduction, port-Hamiltonian systems and mathematical physics. The candidate will visibly contribute to the multi-disciplinary research ecosystem around our Department of Applied Mathematics (such as the Department of Electrical Engineering, the Department of Computer Science, the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology and the TechMed Centre for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine) by developing cutting-edge applied mathematical theory and methods to solve challenging problems.

In teaching, the successful candidate will be able to combine outstanding mathematical expertise with great didactical skills and contribute to both the bachelor and master programmes in applied mathematics and related engineering studies. Expertise and motivation to supervise multi-disciplinary student projects with one or several of the above partner departments and institutes is seen as a plus. It is further expected that the candidate will acquire the Dutch University Teaching Qualification within the first three years of the appointment.
