We seek the most talented individual to strengthen our department with a focus on mathematical methods for Stochastic Operations Research, in particular on exact and approximate methods in Markov decision theory. Our new colleague is envisaged to work on applications in healthcare optimisation, but also expand the current strengths of the department in new directions. The position is embedded in both the Stochastic Operations Research team of Applied Mathematics and the Centre for Healthcare Operations Improvement and Research (CHOIR). We invite interested candidates to determine if the University of Twente is a potential match by visiting these websites.
As an Assistant Professor:
- You develop your own identity as a mathematician. You are expected to attract national or European research grants to support your research line.
- You will be involved in the teaching program of the Department of Applied Mathematics (DAMUT) at the Bachelor and Master level, and our department also supplies service teaching to other programs and faculties.
- The lectures are in English. Mastering the Dutch language is not a prerequisite, but naturally a long-term goal.
- Young staff members spend the first three years of their employment 33% on teaching and 67% research; later, the standard division is 50/50.
Information and application
Please send your application via the 'Apply now' button before September 1, 2025, and include:
- a curriculum vitae, and contact information of 2 references;
- a list of publications;

For any questions, you are welcome to contact prof.dr R.J. Boucherie via the following email address: r.j.boucherie@utwente.nl
The interviews will be held late September and early October 2025.
Screening will be part of the selection procedure.
About the organisation
The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) uses mathematics, electronics and computer technology to contribute to the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). With ICT present in almost every device and product we use nowadays, we embrace our role as contributors to a broad range of societal activities and as pioneers of tomorrow's digital society. As part of a tech university that aims to shape society, individuals and connections, our faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad, and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. Our research has a high profile both in the Netherlands and internationally. It has been accommodated in three multidisciplinary UT research institutes: Mesa+ Institute, TechMed Centre and Digital Society Institute.
