Associate Professor / Professor in 'Advanced Electromagnetics and Electromechanic Systems Engineering'TU EindhovenTU Eindhoven (TU/e) is a mid-size technical university located in the heart of the high-tech industry in the Netherlands, named the Brainport region. Eindhoven is the fifth largest city in the Netherlands, and including suburbs it has about 420,000 inhabitants. TU/e is a highly ranked university both in research and education. Our training and research programs are highly regarded and we foster close relationships with companies, organizations and research institutes in the Brainport region and beyond. Fundamental and applied research are equally valued here. The high rank of the TU/e is due to the impact of its scientific research and also to its scientific copublications with industry. TU/e is a social and inspiring university with a fine culture. You will quickly feel at home, surrounded by people who share your scientific ambitions. The TU/e currently has nine departments, with over 11,000 students in total.
Department of Electrical Engineering With almost 100 (assistant, associate and full) professors, over 200 PhD and PDEng students, about 800 Bachelor students and 300 Master students, the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) is one of the largest departments of the TU/e. By performing top-level fundamental and applied research, offering high-quality educational programs, and maintaining strong ties with industry, EE aims to contribute to science and to innovation in and beyond the region. EE currently offers a Bachelor and Master program in Electrical Engineering and participates in several multi-disciplinary masters, such as Systems and Control, Automotive Technology and Sustainable Energy Technology, all taught fully in English.

here for more information about the department.
The department's relationship with the high-tech industry in the Brainport region means that staff and students can contribute directly to the development of technological innovations with real-world relevance. The unique positioning in one of Europe's leading tech regions also means excellent job opportunities for spouses.
Research in Electrical Engineering: ambition meets opportunity in EindhovenThe department has identified three focus areas ('
zwaartepunten') in research in Electrical Engineering:
- Signal Processing and Imaging
- Communication
- Cyber-Physical Systems
Our nine disciplinary-oriented capacity groups in the department participate in one or more of these focus areas.
This results in the following vacant position:
Associate Professor / Professor in 'Advanced Electromagnetics and Electromechanic Systems Engineering'Society increasingly relies on complex manufacturing, in an automated fashion and using robots. These processes all need high-power density electromechanical systems for fast, accurate and reliable handling of materials and objects. The position will address this need, and explore:
- the design of electromechanical systems using high order models including multi-physics and multi-scale dynamics;
- knowledge sustainability (reuse knowledge, avoid starting from scratch);
- design of supporting software tools, possible AI, allowing reuse of models and providing visualization.
