The Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) at KU Leuven is seeking to fill a full-time position of a tenure-track assistant professor in “data-driven computational modelling of dynamical systems in health and industry”. The successful candidate will join the STADIUS Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing, and Data Analytics.
The research activities of ESAT-STADIUS are in the wide domain of mathematical engineering. Starting from fundamental research and insights in (multi-)linear algebra, statistics and optimization, numerical algorithms are developed for data-based dynamical system modeling, with linear (such as subspace identification) and machine learning approaches (such as least squares support vector machines). These models are used for control, prediction, monitoring, anomaly detection, etc. The resulting algorithms are deployed in a wide range of ‘big data’ settings, namely decision support platforms with applications in industry 4.0 and health 2.0.
As a new PI in ESAT-STADIUS, your research program will align with this background and tradition, and you will be given the opportunity to establish a personalized, impactful strategic basic research program in mathematical engineering, that should lead to applications in aforementioned areas.
Within this targeted area of research, your research program provides evidence of originality and promise. You will strive for excellence in your scholarly research: publish at the highest academic level, initiate national and international collaboration, obtain competitive research funding, attract and supervise doctoral students. You will endorse the international research strategy and contribute to the further strengthening of the scientific reputation of ESAT-STADIUS.
KU Leuven is committed to creating a diverse environment and is therefore an equal opportunity employer. It explicitly encourages candidates from groups that are currently underrepresented at the university to submit their applications.
