Application procedure

We invite you to submit a complete application by using the apply button. The application should include a:
  • Cover letter in which you describe your motivation and qualifications for the position.
    We encourage applicants to reflect on three guiding research questions: (1) How can multimodal foundation models, combining data from different metrology sources, be designed to generalize across customers, process nodes, and use cases? (2) How can pretrained models be efficiently fine-tuned using limited and highly imbalanced customer data, while maintaining strong performance on rare but critical defect classes? (3) How can multimodal models be distilled into single-modality models to improve throughput, while preserving performance guarantees on underrepresented classes or populations?
  • Curriculum vitae, including a list of your projects, publications, and any other relevant items
  • A copy of or a link to your MSc thesis or an example of your academic writing if the MSc thesis cannot be shared.
  • The contact information of two references.

Ensure that you submit all the requested application documents. We give priority to complete applications.

We look forward to receiving your application and will screen it as soon as possible. The vacancy will remain open until the position is filled.

Make sure to apply no later than 18 Mar 2026 23:59 (Europe/Amsterdam).
