Assistant Professor positions in Imaging Physics

Updated: 12 months ago
Deadline: 31 Mar 2023

The Department of Imaging Physics in the faculty of Applied Sciences at TU Delft invites applications for Assistant Professor positions. You are expected to establish an independent research line in an important area of imaging physics that adds to our current research portfolio. The proposed research is expected to be challenging and aiming for fundamental scientific or technological breakthroughs in the respective field, and to incite enthusiasm with peers, students, and the general public. We look forward to a convincing case for relevance to societal challenges and for the viability of the externally funded research line, based on a promising perspective in personal and collaborative grants and in public-private partnerships. We will consider any proposal of relevance, not exclusively those that fit with our current portfolio. An overview of our research and current team of scientists can be found at www.imphys.tudelft.nl .

We offer new faculty at any level financial support in setting up their research group. For assistant professors, we have a process in place leading up to a permanent appointment with the prospect of becoming associate and later on full professor, which offers young, talented academics a clear and attractive career path (www.tudelft.nl/tenuretrack ).

Are you an experienced researcher in the field of imaging physics and looking for a more senior role? Check our job posts for Associate Professor or Full Professor .

We seek principal investigators with an outstanding scientific track record, researchers with a creative and collaborative mentality who appreciate scientific and engineering challenges in imaging physics and who through their research, management skills, and teaching qualities can inspire co-workers and students alike. Candidates are expected to establish a strong, externally funded research program and to show commitment to excellence in teaching at undergraduate (Dutch or English) as well as graduate level (English).

The salary for assistant professors varies from € 3.974 – € 6.181 per month gross depending on experience.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

Impaging Physics Department
The department's ambition is to be leading in developing novel instrumentation and methodology in imaging science and sensing technology. As such the department's profile encompasses a mix of science, engineering and design. In the domain of life and health we target the full range from pre-clinical life sciences oriented research and instrumentation/method development to direct clinical applications. We pioneer in optical neuro-imaging, super-resolution microscopy, MRI, ultrasound, OCT, and scattering and diffraction based diagnostics. In the domain of digital society we achieve impact on the semiconductor manufacturing sector by cutting edge tools for imaging, sensing and precision metrology, such as lensless imaging, optical system design, nano-photonic components, electron optics, and hybrid electron-optical imaging systems. In both sectors there is a prominent role for Artificial Intelligence and computational imaging techniques.
