VACANCY in Holland: Job Leiden University - Lecturer in International Studies / European Union Studies

Job description

The MA International Relations at the Faculty of the Humanities offers two specializations or programs: International Studies and European Union Studies. International Studies is primarily concerned with the interrelationship between global, regional and national ideas and policies, across time and space. The programme focuses on multiple levels of analysis, bridging the gap between relations among states (international relations) and developments within states (comparative politics). European Union Studies focuses on the processes of European integration from an interdisciplinary angle (History, Law, Economics, and Politics), by a mix of specialist, academic researchers and experts with direct experience in policy-formulation and policy-making.  

The candidate will be expected to teach in both programmes. We especially invite International Relations specialists or historians of contemporary international relations with a clear interest in / experience with the external policies of the European Union, to apply. The MA International Relations at the Faculty of the Humanities is a new programme, and offers ample opportunity to the candidate to give substance to his/her own teaching.

The lecturer will hold a position in the Institute for History.

Duties

• Original research and regular dissemination of the results through appropriate channels;
• Teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels, in lecture and seminar formats, and supervision of BA and MA theses in the European Union Studies and International Studies programs, and in other programs and courses as required;
• Co-supervision of PhD research;
• Acquisition of project funding (NWO, ERC, etc);
• Administrative duties, commensurate with career stage;
• Representation of the field to external audiences and media.

Requirements

• A PhD degree in International Relations, European Union Studies, History or any other relevant field, and a publication record that is commensurate with career stage;
• Demonstrable commitment to high-quality teaching practice, and wide teaching scope in terms of content;
• An excellent command of English;
• If the successful applicant is not Dutch-speaking, s/he is expected to acquire a good command of Dutch within two years from taking up duty, through tuition at the University’s Academic Language Center (funded by the employer);
• Upon appointment, depending on experience and formal qualifications to date, the lecturer may be required to enter a nationally standardized tertiary teaching skills certification trajectory (BKO or Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs), successful completion of which is a condition for extensions and tenure.

Conditions of employment

The appointment is for 1.0 fte (38 hours per week) in temporary employment for two years, with the possibility of extension / tenure. The rank of lecturer (Universitair Docent) corresponds roughly to that of assistant professor in North-American terms. The salary is in accordance with the collective
salary agreement of the Association of Dutch universities (CAO) and depending on qualifications and experience, the gross monthly salary is € 3.259 (scale 11) to € 5.070 (scale 12) for a full working week. Leiden University also offers an annual holiday premium of 8% and an end-of-year premium of 8.3%.

Depending on qualifications, the appointee may start at the appropriate step in scale 10 until s/he fully meets the requirements for scale 11/12 as specified by the Faculty of Humanities, particularly with regard to teaching skills certification and the number of years of relevant work experience. Candidates from outside the Netherlands may be eligible for a substantial tax break.

Job description

Eindhoven University of Technology has a vacancy for a:

PhD Perinatal fetal heart-rate variability monitoring based on Doppler ultrasound

in the Signal Processing Systems group (SPS), department of Electrical Engineering.

The Department Electrical Engineering (EE) is one of the nine departments of the Eindhoven University of Technology and provides BSc and MSc programs in Electrical Engineering. The department has nine research groups and has research collaborations with other departments at TU/e as well as with a large number of other universities and companies, both within the Netherlands and internationally. The department has approximately 350 employees and 600 students.

Project description

Birth is one of the most traumatic experiences a human (fetal) heart faces during life. Monitoring the fetal heart during delivery can therefore yield critical information for the clinical staff with respect to the status of the fetus. Recently, the Signal Processing Systems group of the Electrical Engineering department of the TU/e and its partners Philips Research and Máxima Medical Center have obtained funding for a PhD position to investigate how to improve the real-time assessment of the fetal status during delivery. This research will be part of a larger fetal monitoring research project, covering many aspects of fetal wellbeing.

The project will focus on heart-rate variability based on Doppler ultrasound. At late stages of labor, the quality of Doppler ultrasound can be suboptimal due to various reasons, often causing the clinician to switch to the invasive scalp electrode for heart-rate measurements. This project will aim at improving quality of Doppler ultrasound during labor, so as to obviate the need for the scalp electrode. Ultrasound imaging may be used as a reference data source, while on the other hand the fetal ECG may provide additional useful information to obtain good quality beat-to-beat heart-rate variability measurements. Furthermore, continuous monitoring of the umbilical chord with Doppler ultrasound imaging is considered to detect whenever it may be blocked during delivery. Ultrasound will be the main source of information, possibly supported with additional fetal ECG recordings. The Doppler ultrasound findings will be compared to electrophysiological measurements (scalp electrode), which are currently the most reliable source of heart rate variability information.

Requirements

Candidates for the PhD position should have:

. a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering/telecommunications,  (Applied) Physics, Biomedical Engineering or related disciplines with excellent grades.

. good analytic capabilities

. good mathematical skills

. knowledge of signal processing and systems is beneficial

. knowledge of ultrasound is beneficial

. communication skills are very important in this multi-disciplinary project with scientists, engineers and doctors

. reliable

. independent

. good organization skills

 

Conditions of employment

We offer a challenging job at a dynamic and ambitious university through a fixed-term appointment for the period of 4 years. The research in this project must be concluded with the attainment of a Ph.D. degree. As an employee of the university you will receive a competitive salary as well as excellent employment conditions. A salary is offered starting at € 2083.-per month (gross) in the first year, increasing up to EUR 2664.- per month (gross) in the last year. Moreover, an 8% bonus share (holiday supplement) is provided annually. Assistance for finding accommodation can be given. The university offers an attractive package of fringe benefits such as excellent technical infrastructure, child care, savings schemes, and excellent sports facilities.
