opening: faculty position at TU Eindhoven

[Berg, M.T. de]

OPENING for a FACULTY POSITION  (ASSISTANT 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 currently consists of three faculty, namely

prof.dr. Mark de Berg, dr. Bettina Speckmann and dr. Herman Haverkort
(per 1/9/05), 

as well as 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.
