Several PhD and post-doctoral research positions are currently vacant in Belgium, within the framework of a recently started SBO-project of the Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders, Belgium (IWT, http://www.iwt.be).
This 4-year project involves the study and development of methods for dealing with uncertainty in finite element calculations. More specifically, this project aims at the development of a generic approach for implementing a fuzzy finite element method. It also focusses on the possible extension of this approach to other non-probabilistic or hybrid non-deterministic techniques, as e.g. imprecise probabilities, info-gap and probability boxes. Next to the development of algorithms and numerical implementation strategies, the project focuses explicitly on the actual application of these novel non-deterministic numerical simulation techniques for design purposes.
This project assembles a consortium of eight prominent Flemish partners with academic as well as industrial background in the field of non-deterministic numerical modeling techniques. Vacancies for PhD students as well as post-doctoral researchers are currently available at the five involved academic research partners in two leading Flemish universities:
• K.U.Leuven at the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Computer Science
• Ghent University, in the Fuzziness and Uncertainty Modeling and the SYSTeMS research group.
For the PhD research positions, applicants with a Master's degree in Mathematics, Engineering, or Computer Science, and with a profound background in engineering mathematics, civil engineering or mechanics are invited to submit their application. In addition to their integration in the research group, the candidates are expected to do original research in the field of the project, with the aim of obtaining a PhD. Researchers with a PhD and with several years of experience in either of the above mentioned fields are invited to apply for the post-doctoral position. The candidates are expected to have relevant scientific research experience in either of the fields covered by the project, and to apply this knowledge to the benefit of the formulated goals.
Both PhD students and post-doctoral researchers will profit from the technical facilities and the expertise available in the participating research groups, which all have a very good track record. Furthermore, they are expected to write a number of original research papers, and to communicate research results at scientific meetings and conferences.
Please send your application including CV to the project coordinator: david.moens@mech.kuleuven.be. Please indicate if you want to apply for a research position at a specific research group.
