You will be part of the Operations Research Cluster of the department of AM, which consists of the Discrete Mathematics and Mathematical Programming group (DMMP), and the Stochastic Operations Research Group (SOR). Our main research areas are in discrete optimization, algorithms, mathematical optimization, algorithmic game theory, queueing, Markov decision theory, graphs, networks and information theory. Application areas are energy, health, traffic, and logistics. See www.utwente.nl/eemcs/dmmp/ and www.utwente.nl/eemcs/sor/ for more details.

THE CHALLENGE

• You do research on high international level in Optimization & Learning and participate in the teaching of the department AM;
• You teach BSc courses in AM, MSc courses with specialization in Operations Research and nationwide MSc and PhD programmes of Mastermath (www.mastermath.nl) as well as the Dutch Network for the Mathematics of OR (www.lnmb.nl);
• You give lectures in English. Mastering the Dutch language is not a prerequisite, but naturally a long term goal;
• A high degree of responsibility and independence, while collaborating with close colleagues, researchers and other university staff is expected.

Are you ready to contribute to Optimization & Learning?

• You hold a PhD in any relevant area of Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science or Econometrics;
• You work in the intersection of optimization & learning for data driven decision-making, e.g. statistical learning or Bayesian optimization (a profile in closely related fields will receive full consideration too).

The University of Twente. We stand for life sciences and technology. High tech and human touch. Education and research that matter. New technology which leads change, innovation and progress in society. The University of Twente is the only campus university of the Netherlands; divided over five faculties we provide more than fifty educational programmes. We have a strong focus on personal development and talented researchers are given scope for carrying out groundbreaking research.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability status. Because of our diversity values we do particularly support women to apply.

The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) comprises three disciplines that shape Information and Communication Technology. ICT is more than communication. In almost every product we use mathematics, electronics and computer technology contributing to all of societies' activities. The faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. The research which enjoys a high profile both at home and internationally, has been accommodated in the multidisciplinary research institute Digital Society Institute (DSI).
