Are you a highly motivated individual who would like to pursue a PhD degree and develop innovative research work at the interface of computational mathematics, machine learning and simulation science?
We are calling for applications for a PhD position in the Applied Analysis (AA) group at University of Twente (UT)’s Department of Applied Mathematics to work in the area of physics-informed machine learning.
About the project
Research activities of this PhD position focus on the synergistic integration of modern numerical methods for PDEs and recent machine learning techniques, especially based on artificial neural networks and Gaussian processes. The successful candidate will develop physics-informed machine learning methods towards real-world engineering and/or medical applications. Such research initiatives address the drawbacks of conventional numerical methods and seek to enable data-enhanced predictive modeling through model order reduction, multi-fidelity data fusion, and machine learning.
The successful candidate may also be involved in teaching activities in the bachelor’s and/or master’s programs of Applied Mathematics.
YOUR PROFILE
We look for an enthusiastic individual who is driven by curiosity and has:
- -or will shortly acquire, a master’s degree in applied Mathematics, computational science or engineering;
- Knowledge in machine learning and/or uncertainty quantification;
- Experience with numerical methods for solving PDEs;
- Demonstrated programming skills;
- Good communication skills in a collaborative working environment;
- Proficiency in English;
- In addition, knowledge in applied mechanics would be an advantage.
OUR OFFER
We offer an exciting temporary research position in a dynamic and international environment. The University of Twente offers excellent working conditions, an exciting scientific environment, and a green and lively campus with lots of sports facilities and an international scientific community.
- You will be appointed on a full-time PhD position for four years, with a qualifier in the first year.
- You will have a full status as an employee at UT, including pension, health care benefits, 29-41 leave days and good secondary conditions are part of our collective labor agreement CAO-NU for Dutch universities.
