Applied Sciences

The department of Chemical Engineering at TU Delft would like to create an opening for a faculty position with a broad focus on design, synthesis and/or engineering of materials or products. We are looking for academic experts with vision and expertise in the synthesis of organic, inorganic, or hybrid chemical materials and/or chemical product design with applications in health or circularity. In the framework of this broad theme, we particularly invite candidates that can contribute to our educational programs in chemical engineering and expand the research portfolio of ChemE@TUDelft with new expertise and vision in one or more of the following subjects: synthesis and design innovations, soft matter, high-throughput technology, AI & robotics, multiscale modelling, materials processing and scale up.

The department of Imaging Physics would warmly welcome outstanding fellows in several sub-fields of imaging science and engineering. First, we are keenly interested in new ideas on biomedical imaging, in particular related to live cell and tissue imaging, where biological research questions and technology development are equally important. Second, we wish to expand in electron based imaging, with an emphasis on instrumentation and method development, incorporating e.g. electron-light interaction. Third, we aim to strengthen our presence in the field of applied optics with a clear road to implementation, for example in technology for imaging optics, manufacturing and measurement, or optical design. Examples could be found in novel inroads to freeform optics, metamaterial applications, and lensless imaging. In all areas we are open for proposals with a large component of modern computational techniques such as AI. We are looking forward to receiving a compelling research vision, both academically challenging and with clear relevance to societal partners, in any of these three areas.

We seek a fellow with research interests in exploring radiation effects on humans using advanced computational and experimental techniques. You will develop and apply radiation dosimetry at the molecular scale and advance the fundamental understanding of interaction of ionizing radiation with living matter. These novel dosimetry methods should be applicable in the fields of nuclear medicine, external beam therapy or health physics. The fellow will provide expertise and leadership in advancing radiation dosimetry in the Netherlands and contribute to international collaborations. TU Delft offers a wide range of radiation sources and has close collaboration with medical centres such as HollandPTC, ErasmusMC and others, contributing expertise in radiobiology.

You will advance on the safety, sustainability and reliability of nuclear energy by developing theoretical knowledge and applying this in modern numerical methods and codes. Besides a thorough theoretical knowledge of nuclear reactor physics, you have knowledge and experience with advanced multi-physics methods, and other calculation techniques like machine learning, uncertainty analysis, reduced-order modelling, statistical methods, to push the limits on useful information you can extract from nuclear power plants to improve on the safety and reliability of nuclear energy. The fellow will become the leading expert in this field and take responsibility in educating reactor physicists in the Netherlands at the highest level.
