Job description
In July 2021, the department of mathematics and computer science (M&CS) of the Eindhoven University (TU/e) initiated the Teaching and Research Institute for Data Science Analytics

The goal of TRI-DSA is to deliver trustworthy and state-of-the-art data science analytics to society through contract research, research support, professional courses & workshops, and the development of (user-friendly) software. The current focus of TRI-DSA is on data science analytics for health and life sciences and for spatial and temporal data. TRI-DSA has several interesting ongoing collaborations (with e.g., pharma, hospitals, registries, eMTIC, ICMS) and is in need of PhD students to support the activities of TRI-DSA. 
The PhD candidate should be interested in 

• developing and improving data science analytics for real applications and data,
• collaboration with non-data science researchers from the TRI-DSA collaborators,
• supporting the professional education activities of TRI-DSA.

The PhD candidate has the knowledge and skills to be working on innovative data science analytics in a dynamical and multi-disciplinary environment. An important aspect of the research is that it is implemented or implementation ready at the external organizations and companies working with TRI-DSA. An important element of the research is the validation of the novel or improved data science analytics. The PhD candidate will be supervised and working with the researchers and collaborators of TRI-DSA.
