opening for faculty position at the TU Eindhoven

[Berg, M.T. de]

OPENING for a FACULTY POSITION  (ASSISTANT PROFESSOR or ASSOCIATE
PROFESSOR)

in the ALGORITHMS GROUP  at the TU EINDHOVEN (THE NETHERLANDS) 



THE TU EINDHOVEN
-----------------
The Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) was established in 1956 as
a polytechnic. It has grown into a technical university with nine
faculties. The TU/e now has approximately 3000 employees and 6000
students. The campus is in the center of Eindhoven. Eindhoven is located
in the south of the Netherlands, and is the fifth largest city with
about 200,000 inhabitants.


THE FACULTY OF MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE AT THE TU EINDHOVEN
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The faculty offers bachelors and master programs in computer science and
mathematics. Currently the faculty has more than 600 students, and about
200 employees.  The department of computer science has a scientific
staff of about 40 people, plus a large number of postdocs and PhD
students.

  
THE ALGORITHMS GROUP AT THE TU EINDHOVEN
----------------------------------------
The design and analysis of efficient algorithms and data structures
forms an important part of computer science. Fall 2002, a new research
group working in this area has been established at the department of
computer science at the TU Eindhoven. Computational geometry is one of
the focal points of the group, but other areas of algorithms---graph
algorithms, I/O-efficient algorithms, or randomized algorithms for
instance---fall within its area of interest as well.

The group consists of prof.dr. Mark de Berg, prof.dr. Otfried Cheong,
and dr. Bettina Speckmann (permanent staff members) and several postdocs
and PhD students.

For more information on the group, see:   http://www.win.tue.nl/algo/



THE POSITION
------------
There is an opening for a faculty position in the Algorithms group. The
position can either be filled at the level of associate professor or at
the level of assistent professor, depending on the experience and
qualifications of the candidate.

Ideally, the candidate should work at the interface of computational
geometry and some other area. This can either be an application area
such as robotics, graphics, CAD/CAM or GIS, or another algorithms area
such as I/O-efficient algorithms or graph algorithms.


As a faculty member you are expected to perform research in one of the
indicated areas, to supervise master students and PhD students, and
apply for research grants to fund students. You are also expected to
teach courses, both in the master programs and in the bachelor program
offered by the department, and to participate in the general management
tasks of the department.


WE ASK
------
Candidates should have a PhD in computer science. They should have
experience in performing algorithms research, and have published in
international conferences and journals in the area. Candidates should
also have teaching experience and/or be willing to follow didactic
courses.

Candidates for an associate-professor position are expected to be
recognized as an authority in their field, and be experienced in
attracting funds and supervising PhD students and in managing research
programs.


WE OFFER
--------
We offer a position in a strong and international research group. You
will first be appointed for a two-year period, in order to be evaluated
for a permanent position afterwards. Salary will be according to the
standard regulations of the Dutch universities (the "CAO Nederlandse
Universiteiten"). The TU/e also has an extensive package of fringe
benefits.


MORE INFORMATION
----------------
For more information about the position, please contact prof.dr. Mark de
Berg (m.t.d.berg at tue.nl). 

HOW TO APPLY
------------
Please send your application letter, together with a CV and a list of
publications, by email to prof.dr. Mark de Berg (mdberg at win.tue.nl).

The deadline for applications is May 31, 2004.
