Sensing Systems Innovator & Education Leader

Utwentecareers; Netherlands; Remote; EUR 55,000 - 85,000; Full time

Job summary

University of Twente's Pervasive Systems group seeks a colleague to build sensing systems across devices, edge processing, and analytics, balancing research and education to shape how the next generation of engineers learns to build pervasive, sensing-driven systems.

The role combines independent research with teaching in BSc/MSc programs (CreaTe, Technical Computer Science, EMSYS, CS), supervision of PhD/EngD/MSc students, and active participation in collaborations and group activities.

Qualifications

• PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong scientific track record in sensing systems and/or sensor-data analytics, with publications in relevant venues.
• Proven experience with real sensing systems and sensor data, systems that were built, deployed, and evaluated, and data that was processed and analysed, not only simulated.
• Evidence of, or clear potential for, acquiring research funding and supervising students, and readiness to develop an independent line within the group.
• Enjoy teaching and coordinating at both bachelor and master level; willingness to obtain UTQ/BKO within three years.
• Fluency in English with good communication; willingness to learn Dutch if not already spoken.

Responsibilities

• Research with impact: develop your own research line in sensing systems and/or sensor-data analytics, including edge and on-device data processing and analytics.
• Acquisition & supervision: grow toward acquiring research funding, supervising PhD, EngD and MSc students, and contributing to the group.
• Inspiring education: teach and coordinate in BSc programmes (CreaTe and TCS) and MSc programmes (EMSYS, CS), develop course material, supervise theses.
• Collaboration & academic citizenship: work in a multidisciplinary environment and participate in group flagships and academic life.
