Functieomschrijving
We are looking for highly talented and enthusiastic candidates with a PhD in any relevant area of Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science or Econometrics and a track record in Mathematical Optimization or closely related disciplines. We particularly invite qualified women to apply.

The position is part of the group Discrete Mathematics and Mathematical Programming, DMMP, with six permanent scientific staff, teaching assistants, plus about 15 PhD students and post-docs. Our main research areas are in combinatorial optimization, mathematical programming, and algorithmic game theory, with applications in health, energy, logistics and traffic.

We are particularly interested in strengthening our group in the theory and practice of mathematical programming. Yet, applications from researchers in related fields like discrete optimization will receive consideration, too.

Our teaching involves courses in the following curricula: The BSc program in Applied Mathematics, the MSc program in Operations Research as well as nationwide MSc and PhD programmes of Mastermath and the Dutch Network for the Mathematics of OR, LNMB.
Working and teaching languages are English and Dutch. Mastering the Dutch language is not a prerequisite, but a medium term goal.

De organisatie
The University of Twente. We stand for life sciences and technology. High tech and human touch. Education and research that matter. New technology which drives change, innovation and progress in society. The University of Twente is the only campus university in the Netherlands; divided over six faculties we provide more than fifty educational programmes. The University of Twente has a strong focus on personal development and talented researchers are given scope for carrying out pioneering research.

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+, CTIT and MIRA.
