Asst/ Assoc Professor in Control and Orchestration of Complex Optical Networks

3 weken geleden


Eindhoven, Nederland Eindhoven University of Technology Voltijd

Job Description


Emerging future optical and computing networks will be required to integrate the increasing demand for bandwidth with the need to provide low latency access to advanced computation modalities. The network can be based on any variant of connected devices and computing nodes from traditional optical and wireless nodes to 6G-mobile computing nodes, edge computing nodes, and quantum nodes.

We foresee a need to build specific knowledge in optical network control and orchestration and more specifically to support the growing disparity between the different modes of communication and computing. The position can grow to support smart optical datacom and telecom networks including emerging free-space optics (FSO) and 6G optical wireless networks. A holistic approach is needed, covering local/access network to metro/core network and data centers, the transmission link optimization at the physical layer, and the computing decentralized systems by exploiting state of the art machine learning approaches to ultimately implement highly efficient and low energy consumption zero-touch autonomous networks. On the datacom and computing side we see trends towards networks of disaggregated and edge computing nodes required for new applications such as digital twin, mobile edge computing node for 6G, high performance computing, machine learning training networks, etc.

The research is a key part of the photonic system-oriented research activities in the Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute (ECHI), contributing to solve the computing and communication challenges to enable a sustainable information society.

Job requirements

PhD in Electrical/Photonic Engineering or Applied Physics, or a comparable domain. Ability to conduct high quality academic research, demonstrated for instance by a relevant PhD thesis and/or publication(s). Ability to teach, shown by experience or assistance in teaching and positive evaluations of these teaching efforts. Ability to initiate and sustain collaboration (often multidisciplinary) with national and international researchers. Interest and ability to valorise academic knowledge for/with industrial/commercial partners. Good communication and leadership skills. Excellent (written and verbal) proficiency in English.

Conditions of employment

A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

The opportunity to focus your career on education, research or impact. You can develop your personal ambitions and objections within the strategic objectives of the university. Female candidates are eligible for the Irène Curie Fellowship Salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%. A dedicated mentoring program to help you get to know the university and the Dutch (research) environment. High-quality training programs for academic leadership and teaching. An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities. Partially paid parental leave and an allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs. A Staff Immigration Team is available for international candidates, as are a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) and partner career support.
