[The department of Computer Science of the University of Twente is hiring. Note
in particular the positions in Topic 2, Topic 5 and Topic 7 which might be of
particular interest for members of this list]
Within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
(EEMCS), the department of Computer Science is looking for highly motivated and
enthusiastic Assistant/Associate/Full Professors (f/m) in the areas of Computer
Architecture and Networking, Intelligent Interactive Systems, Software Science
and in the area of Privacy & Security.
Within these identified focus areas we offer positions in the following sub
areas:
*Computer Architecture and Networking:*
Topic 1. Data centric distributed networks
Focus on a data-centric approach in the entire design trajectory of distributed
networks: from hardware, to the networking and processing for tomorrow's IoT
and cyber-physical systems.
Topic 2. High level Synthesis of Embedded Computer Architectures
To realize power efficient, flexible, predictable, reliable, and secure
embedded systems, embedded computer architectures (hardware and
platform-software) are required that are designed in a way that addresses these
aspects at a relatively high level of abstraction.
*Intelligent Interactive Systems*
Topic 3. Computational Models of Mind for Human-AI Interaction
Reasoning over interpreted human signals to support complex decision making and
an ongoing human-agent dialogue will complement the strong expertise available
on virtual agents, social robots and other AI machines that humans interact
with.
Topic 4. Methods for Classification and Prediction of Human Behaviour
Coming to a generic description of dynamic behavioural models so that
classification and predictions of human behaviour become possible, grounding
and developing new appropriate machine learning methods to recognise human
behaviour and generating adaptive AI responses in human-computer interaction.
*Software Evolution*
Topic 5. Software Evolution
Software Evolution investigates how to develop reliable software that can
easily be maintained and extended and can be adapted to changing requirements
and situations. This combines formal methods to guarantee reliability, with
research on requirements, architecture-design and model-driven engineering
*Privacy and Security*
Topic 6. Big Data and Cybersecurity
Many of the cybersecurity challenges that we are facing today are related to
Big Data. On the one hand, there are many security technologies and systems
that require the processing of massive amounts of data (including attack, flow,
DNS, application and usage data) to create signatures of (potentially)
malicious behaviour. Such signatures can be used to create models to detect
(ab)normal behaviour and attacks. Dealing with the rapidly increasing amount of
data that needs to be processed requires novel techniques, such as machine
learning and AI, in combination with domain specific knowledge. On the other
hand, the ubiquitous collection of data poses the challenge of how to securely
store and process this data. To achieve this, we need dedicated security
technologies for Big Data that scale well with the growing amount of data to be
processed.
Topic 7. Security and the Internet of Things
Our modern digital society completely depends on technologies like the Internet
and 5G for our daily communication. In recent years we have witnessed the
development of the "Internet of Things" (IoT), where automated sensors and
systems exchange information to manage and control our digital society. A key
problem with these new technologies is trust, since most are manufactured
outside Europe. Not only may these systems and their data get compromised, but
we even have to assume that (the capabilities to add) backdoors exist. Such
threats put the digital independence of our (western) society at risk. A key
challenge is to therefore develop new methods and techniques to design trusted
devices, to detect and isolate untrusted devices, but also to protect data
handled by such devices.
As an Assistant/ Associate and Full Professor
- You will spend your time 50/50 on teaching and research, a reduced teaching
load in the beginning years is the norm;
- You will give lectures in English. Mastering the Dutch language is not a
prerequisite, but naturally a long term goal;
- We strongly encourage a high degree of responsibility and independence, while
collaborating with close colleagues, researchers and other university staff.

The organization
The University of Twente.
We stand for life sciences and technology. High tech and human touch. Education
and research that matter. New technology which leads change, innovation and
progress in society. The University of Twente is the only campus university of
the Netherlands; divided over five faculties we provide more than fifty
educational programmes. We have a strong focus on personal development and
talented researchers are given scope for carrying out ground breaking research.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do
not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin,
gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability status. Because
of our diversity values we do particularly support women to apply.
The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS)
comprises three disciplines that shape Information and Communication
Technology. ICT is more than communication. In almost every product we use
mathematics, electronics and computer technology and ICT now contributes to all
of societies' activities. The faculty works together intensively with
industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad and conducts
extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. The research
which enjoys a high profile both at home and internationally, has been
accommodated in the multidisciplinary research institutes: Mesa+ Institute,
TechMed Centra and Digital Society Institute.
