The Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics DIAM is offering a position with tenure for an Associate Professor in Numerical Analysis. The successful candidate will work in the Numerical Analysis group led by prof. Kees Vuik. The Numerical Analysis group at DIAM plays a central role at the TU Delft. Its activities include: coordinating the activities of the TU Delft Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (DCSE), in which more than forty TU Delft research groups are represented; as well as housing the recently-founded Delft High Performance Computing Centre (DHPC), which provides super computing facilities by means of the DelftBlue supercomputer.

DIAM’s Numerical Analysis group research covers a wide range of topics, from advanced discretization techniques and fast solvers to numerical algorithms for high-performance computing. Candidates with research profiles on any of these topics will be considered. Experience in High-Performance Computing is desirable.

Responsibilities

Research

The successful candidate will develop their own research line of world-class research in Numerical Analysis, and will build a group focused on their research. To this end, they are expected to actively seek research funding. The new Associate Professor is expected to develop research collaborations within the DIAM, the faculty EEMCS, and the DCSE, and to actively contribute to the development of the DHPC. Actively seeking collaboration with industry, research institutes and medical centres is also expected.

Teaching

The new Associate Professor will be teaching courses in the field of Numerical Analysis at all levels. They are also expected to develop new courses. The new Associate Professor will possibly contribute to MasterMath, which offers mathematics courses at the national level. New initiatives for courses in other departments as well as within the Delft Extension School are also desirable. The new Associate Professor is expected to actively participate in the supervision of students in the Applied Mathematics program during their Bachelor, Master and PhD projects.

Service

Within DIAM, there are various organizational tasks that are fulfilled by Associate professors, such as membership of various committees and organization of workshops and departmental meetings. The new Associate Professor is also expected to actively take part in important TU Delft initiatives, depending on their own main interest.

• A completed PhD in Numerical Analysis, Computational Science, High-Performance Computing, or a related field.
• Excellent research track record in Numerical Analysis.
• Strong teaching track record, with experience in designing and teaching courses related to Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics.
• Experience as student advisor at all levels, from Bachelor to PhD.
• Excellent track record in acquiring external research funding, at both national and international levels.
• Active, outgoing attitude for establishing collaborations in the form of joint projects with industry, research institutes and medical centers.
• Strong team management skills and willingness to participate in university committees and to be an active member of the different institutes, as well as national and international mathematics-related initiatives.

Provable experience in High-Performance Computing and provable connections with engineering companies and industry are desirable.

Fixed-term contract: 1 year.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants we offer the Coming to Delft Service and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your relocation. An International Children's Centre offers childcare and there is an international primary school.
Inspiring, excellent education is our central aim. We expect you to obtain a University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) within three years if you have less than five years of teaching experience. This is provided by the TU Delft UTQ programme.

TU Delft sets high standards for the English competency of the teaching staff. The TU Delft offers training to improve English competency. If you do not speak Dutch, we offer courses to learn the Dutch language.

Delft University of Technology

Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context. At TU Delft we embrace diversity and aim to be as inclusive as possible (see our Code of Conduct). Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale.

Challenge. Change. Impact! 

Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three disciplines - electrical engineering, mathematics and computer science. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make future-proof. We are also working on a world in which humans and computers reinforce each other. We are mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. There is plenty of room here for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1,100 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
