Loopbaanadviseur

Introductie
Binnen EuFlex speelt Career Counseling een belangrijke rol in het ondersteunen van medewerkers van de TU/e bij hun professionele groei en duurzame inzetbaarheid. De afdeling biedt verschillende vormen van begeleiding, zoals onder andere een Career Consult, een Career Consult End of Contract en op aanvraag lange trajecten. De korte Career Consult trajecten bestaan doorgaans uit drie persoonlijke gesprekken en zijn bedoeld om medewerkers te helpen reflecteren op hun loopbaan, motivatie, welzijn en toekomstige mogelijkheden.

Of het nu gaat om het voorbereiden op de arbeidsmarkt, het opstellen van een sterk cv, het vinden van nieuwe richting of het vergroten van vitaliteit en balans, Career Counseling biedt praktische én mentale ondersteuning. De begeleiding helpt medewerkers om helderheid te krijgen in waar ze staan en waar ze naartoe willen, zodat zij met vertrouwen de volgende stap in hun loopbaan kunnen zetten. Het team bestaat momenteel uit 5 medewerkers: 1 manager/loopbaanadviseur, 3 loopbaanadviseurs en 1 allround support professional.

PhD in Algorithms and Complexity for Discrete Optimization Problems

Introduction
This project focuses on investigating theoretical properties and the computational hardness of discrete optimization problems, with a focus on structured cases in problems from operations research such as scheduling and integer programming. While many of these problems are classically NP-hard, specific formulations often have exploitable structures that enable efficient solution methods. This research aims to identify such tractable structures, develop corresponding algorithms, and sharpen the boundaries between polynomial-time solvability and inherent hardness.

Beyond theoretical insights, the project seeks to translate these advances into practical algorithmic frameworks for combinatorial optimization. Improvements in solving structured discrete optimization models have wide-ranging implications across applications including supply chain management, resource allocation, fair division and voting rules, among others.

Job Description
You will work under the supervision of Alexandra Lassota and Frits Spieksma in the Combinatorial Optimization group (link) within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at TU/e. Your responsibilities include to perform scientific research on the topic of the above-mentioned project, and to publish and present your results at international venues. For a small percentage of your time, you will be asked to assist with educational tasks (course support and supervision of students).

Job Requirements

• You have a bachelor and master degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, or Econometrics.
• You have a strong background in Combinatorics and Complexity Theory.
• You have good communication skills and like occasional travels.
• You are creative, ambitious, as well as self-motivated, proactive, and goal-oriented.
• You have a good command of the English language (knowledge of Dutch is not required).

Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

• Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate assessment after nine months. You will spend a minimum of 10% of your four-year employment on teaching tasks, with a maximum of 15% per year of your employment.
• Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. € 3,059 - max. € 3,881).
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
• An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
• An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
• A Staff Immigration Team and a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) for international candidates.
