Assistant Professor in the History of Technology (2 years, minimal 0,8 fte) Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) - — AcademicTransfer

The Department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences (IE&IS) has several BSc and MSc programmes. Education and research in the department focus on the development and use of technology in a business and society-oriented context. Research is design and application oriented, based on fundamental scientific insights and methods. Main areas of interest are operations management, innovation management and policy and human-technology interaction. 

The Technology, Innovation & Society (TIS) group of the School of Innovation Sciences is active in the BSc programme 'Sustainable Innovation', the MSc programmes 'Innovation Sciences' and 'Sustainable Energy Technology', a university-wide course on history of technology, and several university-wide electives in the areas of patents, the future of mobility, sustainable buildings and cities and health and the quality of life. 

In terms of research, the TIS group specializes on knowledge economy, sustainability transitions, and history of technology (for more information on history research see the program 'Modern Societies in Transition' on ecis.ieis.tue.nl/node/20). 

Tasks

The main tasks of the candidate are teaching (approx. 65%), research (approx. 35%), and management (approx. 5%). This includes:

  • Developing, and participating in, the courses offered in the history of technology and the innovation sciences.

  • Supervising BSc and MSc thesis projects, in particular in the sustainability and/or knowledge and health domains.

  • Contributing to the history of technology research program.

  • Participating in management tasks of the department.

    PhD ultrafast 3D ultrasound imaging of the breast Radboud university medical center - — AcademicTransfer



    Job description

    Recently,
    a grant of the Dutch Technology Foundation (STW) was awarded for the
    project “3D Ultrafast Functional Ultrasound Imaging for Detection of
    Tumors in Breast”. Goal of this project is to enhance the performance
    Automated Breast Volume Scanning (ABVS) by ultrafast imaging, to improve
    detection of tumors by acquiring functional information, and to
    facilitate treatment by ultrasound guiding of the intervention. The
    project is a collaboration with Siemens Ultrasound. The developed
    techniques will be implemented on a commercial ABVS scanner and
    evaluated in the clinic.

    For this research project, we have a
    vacant position for an enthusiastic PhD student (4 years). Currently,
    acquisition of a full volume takes 1 minute. By ultrafast acquisition, a
    full volume can be acquired in seconds. Intelligent hardware
    architecture as well as data storage strategies have to be developed and
    implemented for ultrafast imaging while also improving the image
    quality. Furthermore, dedicated imaging sequences will be developed to
    deal with breathing motion. The PhD student will work in close
    collaboration with a PhD student that recently started on improved 3D
    functional breast imaging.

    Job description

    The
    Erasmus MC Integrated Cancer Biology Center (ICBC) is a new
    bioinformatics and computational biology core facility. ICBC aims to
    innovate, facilitate and stimulate omics based cancer research,
    including genomics and proteomics, within the Erasmus Medical Center
    Cancer Institute. The objective is to develop a structured, dedicated
    and robust infrastructure for combining ongoing activities and creating
    synergy with different cancer research groups.

    The
    bioinformatician will collaborate in a multi-disciplinary team and
    should contribute significantly to solve general and specific question
    within cancer
    research using his/her bioinformatics expertise. To
    accomplish this task new in house datasets as well as publicly available
    resources will be used. The ICBC is looking for a highly motivated
    (bio)informatician to develop tools and to create and support a
    sustainable bioinformatics environment that strongly contributes to
    innovative in silico cancer research.
