Vacancy for a Full Professor in Applied Mechanics and Data Analysis at University of Twente

As a Professor of Applied Mechanics at the University of Twente, you will develop a leading role in initiating, coordinating and executing novel scientific data analysis methods and approaches in the field of applied mechanics. Together with the other Professors of our department of Mechanics of Solids, Surfaces and Systems (MS3), you will be responsible for managing the department.

Working with globally leading research and technology institutes – such as the ThermoPlastic composites Research Center and the Fraunhofer Project Center - the mission of MS3 is Manufacturing the Future. MS3 develops the technology for future manufacturing processes and new products by a science based engineering approach focused on material and system behavior, combined with robust optimization. “Creating new and better materials and products as well as the machinery required to make these products” is the focus of the MS3 department. This requires a profound scientific understanding of the materials and their interactions throughout the complete life cycle: during production, during use and after service life. The mechanics of materials and systems, for small and large deformations, in quasi-static and dynamic conditions, provide the background for our operations.

The research themes defined within MS3 are:

• Material behaviour
  
• System behaviour
  
• Robust optimization
  

The University of Twente offers:

• a full time tenured position as professor with a competitive salary and excellent benefit scheme
• an international work environment, with colleagues from many different countries all over the world
  
• an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our University.
