Tenured position as Assistant / Associate Professor in Algorithms, Delft (The Netherlands)
Full-time Assistant Professor/Associate Professor in Algorithms
===============================================================
We are are looking for a suitable candidate to strengthen the Algorithmics
Group in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer
Science at Delft University of Technology.
Research in the Algorithmics Group focuses on algorithmic methods for
distributed systems with nodes that have a large degree of autonomy. Research
concentrates particularly on the design, evaluation and implementation of
coordination methods for such systems. An important focus here is the
development of robust coordination methods which can be used in environments
where faults will often occur. The intended application areas for such methods
include the transport sector, incident management, and healthcare.
The group provides courses in logic, theoretical computer science, algorithms
and cooperative agent systems. It is the intention to expand the number of
algorithm courses in the future, particularly in the Master's phase. Some nine
PhD candidates currently work in the Algorithms group, along with a post-doc
and four staff-members. Further information about the group can be found at
http://www.alg.ewi.tudelft.nl/
++Job description++
The Assistant Professor/Associate Professor will focus on algorithm research,
and in particular on distributed coordination methods for autonomous systems.

scientists and theoretical computer science in the Bachelor's phase. Finally,
the appointee will teach advanced algorithms in the Master's phase.
++Requirements++
Candidates should have a PhD or have achieved a comparable research
accomplishment. We are seeking an individual with broad knowledge and
experience in algorithms, distributed systems and, more generally, theoretical
