Faculty of Science and Engineering
OrganisationUniversity of Groningen
Since its founding in 1614, the University of Groningen has enjoyed an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative center of higher education, offering high- quality teaching and research. Balanced study and career paths in a wide variety of disciplines encourage the 30,000 students and researchers to develop their own individual talents. Belonging to the best research universities in Europe and joining forces with prestigious partner universities and networks, the University of Groningen is truly an international place of knowledge.
Job descriptionThe Faculty of Science and Engineering has a vacancy in Statistics and Stochastics at the level of tenure track assistant, associate or full professor. We are looking for a researcher in Mathematics/Statistics who will perform research on modelling and inference of complex stochastic systems in high-dimensional data settings, aimed at developing modern statistical inference strategies for high-dimensional models, among which networks and systems of differential equations. The exponential growth in computing power over the last two decades has revolutionized statistical analysis and led to rapid developments and great progress in this emerging field. The challenge to build cognitive systems from basic nanoscale components involves both modelling (for example, by random graph models) and experimental approaches that will involve generating data on complex systems. The position will be embedded in the basic unit Probability & Statistics of the Bernoulli Institute, with strong collaborations with materials science, computer science and artificial intelligence.
The position will play a crucial role within the Center “Groningen Cognitive Systems and Materials” (CogniGron). This is a unique research center, where researchers from materials science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science and artificial intelligence work together to create self-learning materials that will perform the tasks that are now assigned to thousands of transistors and complex algorithms. We offer a challenging position in a unique world-class research environment, in which close collaborations between research groups with different expertise are encouraged.
We will support the candidate with an attractive start-up package and access to local state-of-the-art facilities, which are constantly being improved to strengthen our program.
Once appointed, you are expected to be a full-time, independent group leader.
We are recruiting at the level of Assistant (tenure track), Associate (tenure) or Full Professor, depending on your profile.
We encourage you to apply if you have:
• a PhD degree with at least two years of postdoctoral experience abroad (industrial experience can partially compensate for this requirement)
• excellent research qualities, as evidenced by a publication record in (inter)national peer-reviewed journals and/or in peer-reviewed books and renowned conferences
• proof of independence and international recognition
• successes in acquiring external funding for research projects
• a well-founded and motivated application with an innovative research plan that matches the mission of the Groningen Cognitive Systems and Materials Center (see: http://www.rug.nl/fse/cognigron)
And if you are:
• a great team player with organizational qualities and good interpersonal skills;
• fluent in English;
• a good teacher and willing to fulfill the requirements for the University Teaching Qualifications;
• willing to learn the Dutch language.
