Faculty Position, Numerical Methods for Large-Scale Inverse Problems and 
Data Assimilation, KU Leuven, Belgium

The research unit NUMA, Department of Computer Science, KU Leuven, 
invites applications for a full-time faculty position. The research unit 
covers many aspects of numerics, including approximation theory, 
numerical integration, numerical (multi)linear algebra, numerical PDEs, 
uncertainty quantification, optimization and control, discrete 
optimization and scheduling, network problems, data science, HPC and 
applied numerical mathematics.

The recent surge in advanced techniques for data acquisition gives rise 
to computational tasks of a complexity far beyond numerical simulation 
as integrating measurement data in complex models requires specific 
numerical algorithms. In the simplest setting, finding the “best” model 
parameters given some measurement data is an optimization problem. 
However, demands of practical applications often go far beyond this 
optimization: one can, for instance, also be interested in quantifying 
the uncertainty on the resulting optimum, the remaining modeling error 
with respect to the physical system, or the evolution of the model as a 
function of time (if data is continuously gathered).

The new faculty position aims to strengthen NUMA's position in 
scientific computing towards a data rich environment. The successful 
candidate is expected to develop a research program in inverse problems 
and data assimilation, ensure high-quality education within the area of 
mathematical engineering, and be prepared to provide scientific, social 
and administrative services. For further details, contact information
