Applications across various sectors are studied, with a focus on healthcare, transportation and logistics, services, smart industry, mobility, and energy. As a member of the group, you will contribute to teaching students how to improve organizational decision making with data science and AI.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing and delivering high-quality course materials, teaching lectures and tutorials, designing assignments and exams, and supervising student projects, including bachelor’s and master’s thesis projects. In addition, 20% of your time will be dedicated to education-related research.
The position is initially offered for a period of six months on a full-time basis or up to twelve months on a part-time basis. The appointment can be combined with another part-time position, such as a role at another institution or an existing PhD or postdoctoral appointment at TU/e.

This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the education of the next generation of data analytics and AI professionals, while helping shape the future of AI education at the university.
