Vacancies
Postdoctoral researcher
for STW-project
E-coagulation
EURANDOM has a
vacancy for a postdoctoral researcher in Statistics who will participate in
the STW
project E-coagulation.
This project
will be done in collaboration with the Leiden University Medical Centre, the
Utrecht University Medical Centre, the University of Amsterdam, the VU
University Amsterdam and Philips Research Eindhoven (Dpt. of Molecular
Diagnostics). The focus of the EURANDOM part of this research project is on
parameter estimation for large systems of differential equations. Appropriate
parametric and semiparametric statistical techniques have to be developed. The
research at EURANDOM will be done under the guidance of professors de Gunst (VU)
and Klaassen (UvA).
EURANDOM is the European Research Institute for the study of random phenomena.
Research at EURANDOM covers stochastics and its applications, as well as its
interfaces with other disciplines. Stochastics consists of statistics,
probability theory, and stochastic operations research. The core business of
EURANDOM is fundamental research in an international environment, carried out by
a non-tenured staff of junior researchers and senior advisors supplemented with
an extensive programme of seminars, workshops, and visitors.
Research at EURANDOM
is clustered into thematically organized research programmes:
-
Multivariate Risk
Modelling
-
Queueing and
Performance Analysis
-
Random Spatial
Structures
-
Statistical Information and Modelling:
Statistical Signal and Image Analysis; Statistics in
Biology.
At present the junior
staff consists of 25-30 internationally recruited post-doctoral researchers and
graduate students under the guidance of senior advisors. EURANDOM is part of the
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, TU/e.
Postdoctoral
appointments are typically for two years.
Candidates with a mathematical background and who have a particularly strong
background in Statistics, are invited to send a letter of application together
with a curriculum vitae with full educational details to EURANDOM. A list of
publications, an (electronic) pre-print of a selected paper, and names and
contact details of three academic referees should also be included. The complete
package should be sent to:
Prof.dr.ir. O.J.
Boxma
Scientific Director EURANDOM
P.O. Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands
For further information about the
project you may contact Prof. C.A.J. Klaassen (c.a.j.klaassen@uva.nl)
or Prof. M.C.M. de Gunst (degunst@cs.vu.nl).

PhD-researcher Applied Mathematics (1.0 fte)
Job description
The candidate is expected to perform research using mathematical models and
techniques on the design and performance evaluation of distributed spectrum
sharing algorithms for emerging large-scale wireless meshes and
cognitive-radio networks. In contrast to today's cellular architectures,
these networks typically lack any centralized control entity for allocating
resources and explicitly coordinating transmissions. Instead, these networks
vitally depend on the individual nodes to operate autonomously and
efficiently share the medium in a distributed fashion. This requires nodes
to schedule their individual transmissions and decide on the use of shared
resources based on knowledge that is locally available or only involves
limited exchange of information. The resulting mathematical models give rise
to high-dimensional stochastic processes with infinite state spaces, which
do not admit exact distributional results or yield to standard numerical
techniques or brute-force simulation. In order to confront that challenge,
we will launch various lines of attack, and in particular leverage
asymptotic scaling methods.
The project is funded by a Microsoft PhD scholarship. The PhD scholarship
program recognizes and supports exceptional students who show the potential
to make an outstanding contribution to science and computing. There are
opportunities for an internship at Microsoft Research in Cambridge.
Requirements
University graduate (Master level) in mathematics. A background in
statistical physics, electrical engineering or computer science might be
suitable as well. The ideal candidate has an exceptional mathematical
talent, and knowledge of probability theory, stochastic processes, and
programming.
Appointment and salary
o An appointment for four years
o Gross monthly salaries in accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement
of the Dutch Universities (CAO NU), increasing from € 2042 per month
initially, to € 2612 in the fourth year.
o An attractive package of fringe benefits (including excellent work
facilities, end of the year allowance and sport facilities)
Information and application
More information can be obtained from Prof.dr.ir. Sem Borst (s.c.borst@tue.nl)
and dr. Johan van Leeuwaarden (j.s.h.v.leeuwaarden@tue.nl).
Candidates are invited to send their application together with
curriculum vitae, motivation letter, marks transcripts, and the names and
email addresses of two references to
s.c.borst@tue.nl
PhD-researcher Mathematics (1.0 fte)
Job description
The candidate is expected to perform research at the interface of
probability and stochastic processes on the one hand, and analytic and
enumerative combinatorics on the other hand. More specifically, the project
aims at investigating two-dimensional walks in the quarter plane. The
project is funded by NWO (the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific
Research).
Requirements
University graduate (Master level) in mathematics. The applicant is expected
to have a solid background in at least one of both sides of the project. The
ideal candidate has an exceptional mathematical talent, creative ability and
knowledge of probability theory, stochastic processes, and complex analysis.
Appointment and salary
o An appointment for four years
o Gross monthly salaries in accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement
of the Dutch Universities (CAO NU), increasing from € 2042 per month
initially, to € 2612 in the fourth year.
