Job description

We seek the most talented individual to strengthen our department with a focus on mathematical methods for Stochastic Operations Research, in particular on exact and approximate methods in Markov decision theory. Our new colleague is envisaged to work on applications in healthcare optimisation, but also expand the current strengths of the department in new directions. The position is embedded in both the Stochastic Operations Research team of Applied Mathematics and the Centre for Healthcare Operations Improvement and Research (CHOIR). We invite interested candidates to determine if the University of Twente is a potential match by visiting these websites.

As an Assistant Professor:
  • You develop your own identity as a mathematician. You are expected to attract national or European research grants to support your research line.
  • You will be involved in the teaching program of the Department of Applied Mathematics (DAMUT) at the Bachelor and Master level, and our department also supplies service teaching to other programs and faculties.
  • The lectures are in English. Mastering the Dutch language is not a prerequisite, but naturally a long-term goal.
  • Young staff members spend the first three years of their employment 33% on teaching and 67% research; later, the standard division is 50/50.

Requirements

  • You hold a PhD in Mathematics, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Econometrics, or a closely related field.
  • You have an existing track record in research in one of the relevant areas, shown by publications in high-ranking journals, or otherwise strong evidence of high research potential.
  • You have good communication skills and are an inspiring teacher.
  • You have acquired (an equivalent of) the Dutch University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) or are willing to do so.
  • You have an excellent command of the English Language.
  • The UT and the faculty of EEMCS are inclusive toward underrepresented groups and strive to increase the proportion of female staff. Female applicants are particularly welcome.

Conditions of employment

  • We offer a position with an initial contract of one year. After a positive evaluation, the contract can be converted into a permanent contract. Part-time is negotiable. Criteria for evaluation comprise a strong track record of publications, evaluation of teaching capacities and a demonstrated ability to acquire funding and to achieve an international network and reputation.
  • The position is at Assistant Professor level, with a monthly salary ranging from € 4.728,-- (scale 11) to € 7.297,-- (scale 12) gross depending on qualifications.
  • The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Universities (CAO) and include a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3%.
  • You will work in a lively and inspiring working environment with enthusiastic colleagues in an organisation focusing on internationalisation and a high degree of responsibility and independence.
  • We are a family-friendly institution that offers parental leave (both paid and unpaid) and career support for partners. We offer excellent professional and personal development programs and a secondary remuneration package including a travel allowance.

High Tech and Human Touch

Join the university of technology that puts people first. Create new possibilities for yourself, your colleagues and society as a whole. Using modern technology and science to drive innovation, change and progress. That’s what it means to work at the University of Twente.
