Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS)
is
known worldwide for its high academic quality and the social relevance of its
research
programmes. The facultys excellent facilities accentuate its international
position in
teaching and research. The faculty offers an interdisciplinary setting for its
500
employees, 350 PhD students and 1700 undergraduates. Together they work on a
broad
range of technical innovations in the fields of sustainable energy,
telecommunications,
microelectronics, embedded systems, computer and software engineering,
interactive
multimedia and applied mathematics. EEMCS: Your Connection to the Future.
The PhD opening is in the section Networks Architectures and Services (NAS) of
the
Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS) at
Delft
University of Technology and funded by the EU FP7 project CONGAS.
The Networks Architectures and Services (NAS) section educates and conducts
research
in the broad area of complex networks, ranging from data communications and
Internetworking, to other man-made infrastructures such as road-traffic
networks, and to
biological, brain, social and financial sector networks.
The emphasis lies on understanding these complex, real-world networks by
topological as
well as spectral studies. NAS also has expertise in concepts (e.g. routing,
robustness) of
network architectures, on the performance analysis of quality of service-aware
protocols
and Internet behaviour, and on strategic and business-oriented challenges for
network
operators.
Job description
A variety of socio-technical systems, in areas as diverse as the Internet,
energy
management, financial markets, ICT infrastructures, design of transport
systems, urban
planning and policy making possess a rich multi-level structure and exhibit
complex
dynamics that are the result of a web of interwoven interactions among elements
with
autonomous decision-making capabilities. The proposed research will address a)
Characterization of evolving networks, b) Dynamics such as information
diffusion,
percolation and epidemic spread, c) Network co-evolution where the dynamic
process
changes the network topology and d) extend this expertise to multi-level complex
networks. The overall objective is to understand the emergence of structure and
patterns
in complex systems, accounting for interactions spanning various scales in time
and
space, and acting at different structural and aggregation levels.
Requirements
The NAS group has expertise in Internet networking, network robustness and
epidemics.
We are looking for a brilliant PhD candidate with a deep interest in aspects of
complex
networks, who has strong mathematical skills and who is eager to apply
mathematical
insight into practical issues in the wide domain of complex networks. The back
ground
education for candidates is a master degree in either engineering, computer
science,
mathematics or/and physics.
Conditions of employment
TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week,
free highspeed
Internet access from home (with a contract of two years or longer), and the
option
of assembling a customised compensation and benefits package (the 'IKA').
Salary and
benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch
Universities.
