DelftRail aims to enhance the significance of advanced research in railway engineering and operations, thereby establishing a sustainable, robust and future proof railway system. DelftRail contributes to promoting the railway as Europe’s primary means of sustainable mobility, attracting additional research funding and fostering the education of interdisciplinary railway experts so urgently needed in the coming decades.

Throughout the years we have created a vast amount of knowledge through our research. The time has now come to make this knowledge available for educational purposes, not only within TU Delft but also for practitioners. 

In the first months you will meet with the different stakeholders to assess the existing resources and determine areas of educational demand. After this stage, you will work towards creating engaging courses and materials. It goes without saying this is done in close collaboration with the subject matter experts. Not only within the four faculties (Civil Engineering and Geosciences - Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering - Electrical Engineering, Mathematics & Computer Science - Technology, Policy and Management) but also among our external partners. 

As you can see on www.tudelft.nl/delftrail/education you do not have to start from scratch, but we do expect you to take us to the next level! 

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with faculties and (external) stakeholders to design and develop a comprehensive curriculum for a university-wide master’s program (system engineering).
• Ensure compliance with quality standards and accreditation requirements through regular reviews and assessments.
• Contribute to the selection of learning resources, textbooks and multimedia content to support the master’s program.
• Provide guidance and support to faculty members in instructional design and implementation of effective teaching practices.

If you have 

• a background in educational science or another relevant academic discipline;
• up to date knowledge about learning technology and the (im)possibilities of ICT in education;
• innovative ideas about digital and online learning;
• strong project management and coordination skills;
• the ability to work closely and intensively with professors, senior lecturers, and other relevant stakeholders;
• excellent communications skills and are fluent both in English and Dutch;

we look forward to receiving you application.

Experience with and/or knowledge of Systems Engineering is a big plus.

You will be offered a temporary contract for a maximum of 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, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.

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 as one of our core values and we actively engage to be a university where you feel at home and can flourish. We value different perspectives and qualities. We believe this makes our work more innovative, the TU Delft community more vibrant and the world more just. Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale. That is why we invite you to apply. Your application will receive fair consideration.

Challenge. Change. Impact!

Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences

The Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences (CEG) is committed to outstanding international research and education in the field of civil engineering, applied earth sciences, traffic and transport, water technology, and delta technology. Our research feeds into our educational programmes and covers societal challenges such as climate change, energy transition, resource availability, urbanisation and clean water. Our research projects are conducted in close cooperation with a wide range of research institutions. CEG is convinced of the importance of open science and supports its scientists in integrating open science in their research practice. The Faculty of CEG comprises 28 research groups in the following seven departments: Materials Mechanics Management & Design, Engineering Structures, Geoscience and Engineering, Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Transport &; Planning, Hydraulic Engineering and Water Management.

Within the department of Engineering Structures the section of Railway Engineering  deals with the physical assets of the railway system, including track, embankment, rolling stock and catenary, as well as the interfaces and dynamic interactions between them.

The research, innovation, development and education of the section concern the whole life cycle of the assets, from design, construction, operation, degradation, monitoring, maintenance to retrofit, as well as the data-driven intelligent management of the assets, taking into consideration of the performance of the whole railway system.

The section plays a leading role in DelftRail (the TU Delft Rail Institute) which involves a total of four TU Delft faculties and close collaboration with Prorail and other organisations in industry and government.
