Maastricht, Nederland Maastricht University Voltijd

Group of inspiring students seeks an equally stimulating lecturer for teaching and guidance at Maastricht University, the Netherlands.

Are you passionate about the field of Computer Science and would love to share your passion and knowledge with future generations of Computer Scientists? If you see yourself making an impact in our education, you should consider joining our Department of Advanced Computing Sciences (DACS) at Maastricht University. DACS is an international community of ~100 researchers at various stages of their career, embedded in the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE). Our department has more than 30 years’ experience with research and teaching in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics. To strengthen our education, we are looking for a lecturer with a (PhD) degree in the field of Computer Science.

**What are you going to do**

Currently we offer two bachelor’s programmes (Computer Science and Data Science & Artificial Intelligence) and two master’s programmes (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science for Decision Making).

Our programmes employ the so-called Project-Centred Learning (PCL) educational model. With PCL, students work on two big projects per year alongside their courses. In groups of 6 students, they tackle projects ranging from developing a real-time human-computer interface using parallax, to designing optimal timetables, and automating human facial expression recognition. Apart from creating a functional product, our students write a report suitable for publication in an academic journal and present their findings to their peers and teachers.

As a lecturer, you
will spend 100% of your time on education (or education related tasks), mainly in our Bachelor’s Computer Science (see curriculum here). This includes teaching some of the courses offered by our department, supervising student projects at the bachelor level, coordinating thesis projects at master level, and developing education.

**Requirements**:
Naturally, we are looking for a passionate lecturer. But we also seek someone who enjoys mentoring, and who thrives in our informal and international teaching culture. We all refer to each other on a first name basis and have around 50 different nationalities in our community. We are proud of our students’ achievements. Our new lecturer should be excited to play a role in both the academic and personal development of our students. We are especially interested in lecturers that bring in experience on new emergent technologies such as cybersecurity, internet of things, smart industry, extended reality, smart robotics, and high-performance computing amongst others.

In addition, you will need the following to qualify for this position:

- A (PhD) degree in a field related to Computer Science,
- A proven track record in teaching;
- English language fluency.

**What we offer**
**As **Lecturer** **at the **Faculty of Science & Engineering**, you will be employed by the most international university in the Netherlands, located in the beautiful city of Maastricht. In addition, we offer you**:

- Good employment conditions. The position is graded in scale 11 according to UFO profile Teacher, with corresponding salary based on experience ranging from €4492,00 and €6148,00 gross per month (based on a full-time employment of 38 hours per week).

- An employment contract for a period of 12 months with a scope of 1,0 FTE. Upon proven suitability, the employment contract will be converted to an indefinite contract.
- At Maastricht University, the well-being of our employees is of utmost importance, we offer flexible working hours and the possibility to work partly from home if the nature of your position allows it. You will receive a monthly commuting and internet allowance for this. If you work full-time, you will be entitled to 29 vacation days and 4 additional public holidays per year, namely carnival Monday, carnival Tuesday, Good Friday, and Liberation Day. If you choose to accumulate compensation hours, an additional 12 days will be added. Furthermore, you can personalize your employment conditions through a collective labor agreement (CAO) choice model.
