[Job-offers-cs] Faculty position, Computational Neurosciences, KU Leuven and VIB

[Pekka Orponen]

The Science, Engineering & Technology Group of KU Leuven and the Flemish 
Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) have a joint vacancy for a full-time 
academic position in computational neuroscience. We are looking for 
internationally oriented candidates with an excellent research record, 
and with a solid background and teaching experience in computational 
neuroscience. The position is a shared appointment between the NERF 
Department of the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) on the one 
hand, and the Departments of Computer Science (research unit NUMA) and 
of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) (research unit STADIUS) of KU Leuven on 
the other hand. Besides the teaching, all other tasks related to this 
position are primarily localized and carried out at the VIB facilities 
in Leuven. Active presence at those facilities is required.

NERF is an academic research institute founded by imec, VIB and KU 
Leuven, and is becoming one of the research departments of the Flemish 
Institute of Biotechnology (VIB). NERF's goal is to reveal principles of 
brain and neuronal circuit function and the neural basis of behavior and 
health and disease. The institute is a pioneer and world leader in 
large-scale recording and imaging techniques. Its work provides insights 
into the mechanistic foundation of nervous system function and behavior, 
and paves the way to better diagnostics and treatments. NERF is a member 
of Leuven's vibrant neuroscience community around the Leuven Brain 
Institute, the VIB Center of Brain, the KU Leuven Departments of 
Neuroscience, Biology, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, the 
University Hospitals and imec.

The Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (NUMA) section within the 
Department of Computer Science of KU Leuven aims at the development, 
analysis and implementation of numerical algorithms and their 
application in society, science, and engineering. The NUMA Section 
covers many aspects of computational mathematics, including 
approximation theory, numerical integration, numerical (multi-)linear 
algebra, numerical partial differential equations, uncertainty 
quantification, optimization and control, discrete optimization and 
scheduling, and High-Performance Computing. The NUMA research unit also 
performs research with and for industry.

The STADIUS Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing and Data 
Analytics is a research unit in the Department of Electrical Engineering 
(ESAT) of KU Leuven. Academic research in ESAT-STADIUS focuses on 
mathematical engineering, where mathematical tools from numerical linear 
and multi-linear algebra, statistics and optimization are used for 
applications of dynamical systems and control, signal processing, data 
modeling and analytics. ESAT-STADIUS offers recognized expertise in 
diverse application fields such as industrial automation, audio and 
speech communication, digital communication, biomedical signal and data 
processing, and bio-informatics. ESAT-STADIUS attracts competitive 
research funding through regional, national and European funding 
channels, such as the European Research Council ERC. In addition, 
ESAT-STADIUS has a large number of collaborative projects with industry, 
which has also resulted in the founding of several spin-off companies.

As a member of the senior academic staff of KU Leuven, you will be 
appointed in the Faculty of Engineering Science within the Science, 
Engineering & Technology Group of KU Leuven. As a researcher, you will 
be appointed as (junior or senior) group leader in the Neuro-Electronics 
Flanders (NERF) department of VIB.
