This postdoctoral research aims at exploring statistical methods that enable the data-driven analysis and design of aerospace composite structures. The candidate should have a background in Statistics, Uncertainty Quantification, Deep Learning or Bayesian machine learning methods, and is motivated to apply these methods to solve Engineering problems. The candidate will be working in the CAELESTIS project including a team of experimentalists; therefore, interaction with these colleagues is expected. The research group hosting this candidate includes experts in simulation and machine learning methods, but it is currently lacking proficiency in Statistics and uncertainty quantification. The postdoc will be rewarded with significant independence, and is expected to help supervise one PhD student working on the topic. Additional details can be provided during the interview. There is some flexibility concerning the type of methods to explore, depending on the interests and expertise of the candidate (within reasonable bounds!).
CAELESTIS main objective is to enable the EU aircraft industry to design and manufacture disruptive aircraft structures and engines with enhanced prediction capacities (product performance and manufacturability), to widen the design space and reduce the uncertainties potentially encountered along the product and engineering lifecycle, which are currently limiting their introduction into service.
Applicants must have the following qualifications:
Fixed-term contract: 2 years.
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (based on scale 10: €3,226.00 - €5,090.00). The contract of employment is offered for two years. The position is open for 36-40 hours per week. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution.

Challenge. Change. Impact!
The Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology is one of the world’s most highly ranked (and most comprehensive) research, education and innovation communities devoted entirely to aerospace engineering. More than 200 science staff, around 270 PhD candidates and close to 3000 BSc and MSc students apply aerospace engineering disciplines to address the global societal challenges that threaten us today, climate change without doubt being the most important. Our focal subjects: sustainable aerospace, big data and artificial intelligence, bio-inspired engineering and smart instruments and systems. Working at the faculty means working together. With partners in other faculties, knowledge institutes, governments and industry, both aerospace and non-aerospace. Working in field labs and innovation hubs on our university campus and beyond.
