Dienstverband: Permanent

Radboud University Nijmegen

Strategically located in Europe, Radboud University Nijmegen is one of the leading academic communities in the Netherlands. A place with a personal touch, where top-flight education and research take place on a beautiful green campus in modern buildings with state-of-art facilities.

Nijmegen School of Management

The Nijmegen School of Management (NSM) is an academic centre of research and higher learning, focusing on institutional and managerial issues within complex organizations in both the public and private domain. There are seven focus areas within the NSM: Business Administration, Public Administration, Political Science, Economics, Social and Political Sciences of the Environment, Human Geography, and Spatial Planning. The NSM strives for a multi-disciplinary approach whenever possible. Altogether, the NSM employs 220 full-time staff, of whom 75% are academics. The NSM has about 3,000 students.

The Department of Economics is one of the four departments within the NSM and consists of four chairs: Economic Theory and Policy, International Economics, Finance, and Accounting. What sets the Nijmegen curriculum in Economics apart is that it takes a view labeled as “Economics+”. This focus reflects a broader view concerning the developments within the discipline of economics itself. That is, economics is seen as pluralistic, which enables the combination of various, different perspectives. Consequently, in the curriculum the standard course listing is combined with classes that put economics within an ethical, historical, philosophical, institutional, and methodological perspective. As such, it reflects the research of the Department of Economics, which is also characterized by a multidisciplinary approach.

When comparing a facial image from a crime scene with a police photograph, forensic experts pay attention to morphologic-anthropologic features, following a prescribed protocol. The support for the hypothesis that crime-scene and reference image originate from one individual is expressed in qualitative terms, such as “no support”, “limited sup-port”, “moderate support”, “strong support”, and “very strong support”. Presently a strong effort is being made to replace such a qualitative description by a likelihood ratio, which is a quantitative measure of evidential value that can support the judge in court to make an objective decision.

Biometric face recognition is an automated process, for example used in access control. It does not use morphologic-anthropologic features, but extracts and compares abstract features, resulting in a quantitative similarity score. If this is above a predetermined threshold, the compared faces are accepted as resulting from the same individual.

The NWO project Forensic Face Recognition combines the fields of forensic face comparison and biometric face recognition in order to develop a (partially) automated system for forensic facial comparison that quantifies the evidential value as a likelihood ratio thus supporting the court to make an objective decision. This will be realized by:
1. Automation of the current forensic morphological-anthropological practice.
2. Optimization of biometric face recognition for forensic applications.
3. Computation of likelihood ratios as quantitative evidential value from the above 2 systems.
Topics 1 and 2 will be addressed at the University of Twente. Topic 3 will be addressed at the University of Amsterdam.

The PhD student in Twente will do research on face recognition systems for the forensic domain. For this task, we are looking for a highly motivated researcher with an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics or a related topic, with adequate experimental and theoretical skills. You have knowledge of image processing, pattern recognition, and probability theory. Knowledge in more specific areas such as biometrics will be an advantage. Fluency in English is a requirement. An interview will be part of the selection procedure.

As PhD student, you will be appointed for a period of four years, at the end of which you must have completed a PhD thesis. During this period, you have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge by joining international exchange programs, to participate in national and international conferences and workshops, and to visit other research institutes and universities worldwide.
We offer a full-time PhD position in a dynamic and international environment. The duration of the contracts is four years. The gross salary will range from € 2.042,00 in the first year to € 2.612,00 per month in the fourth year. Additionally, the University of Twente provides excellent facilities for professional and personal development. In addition, we offer a holiday allowance (amounts to 8%) and an end-of-year bonus (amount to 8.3%) and a number of additional benefits. The labour agreements are in accordance with the CAO-NU for Dutch universities.

The University of Twente. We stand for life sciences and technology. High tech and human touch. Education and research that matter. New technology which drives change, innovation and progress in society. The University of Twente is the only campus university in the Netherlands; divided over six faculties we provide more than fifty educational programmes. The University of Twente has a strong focus on personal development and talented researchers are given scope for carrying out pioneering research.

In the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EWI) is the place where these three disciplines shape Information and Communication Technology at the University of Twente. ICT is more than communication. In almost every product we use mathematics, electronics and computer technology are present, and ICT now contributes to all of societies' activities. It is no longer about gadgets that we do or do not want to use. The real integration of ICT is just beginning. What we need is more intelligence in our systems and improvement of their natural interaction with humans.

PhD 1: Combining evidence in legal (forensic) casework

Forensic Statistics has significantly improved logical probabilistic reasoning in forensic evidence interpretation. This has enabled forensic scientists to report the evidential value in a numerical way, regarding source-questions like “whoseDNA is in the sample?”. Important challenges now lie in reporting the value of the combined findings, and addressing activity-questions like “how did theDNA get there?” The methodology that has been developed for forensic evidence can be extended to other types of evidence and reasoning used in court.

The aim of the project is to improve logical probabilistic reasoning both in forensic science and in court. An important tool is the use of Bayesian networks. The project is part of the forensic science program of the Dutch science organisation NWO and is interdisciplinary in nature. Project participants are located at the KdVI at UvA, the department of Mathematics of the VU-University in Amsterdam, the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI), the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, and at the department of Criminal Law and Criminology of the University of Groningen.

PhD 2 Forensic Face Recognition
This PhD research in Forensic Statistics aims at developing statistical techniques to determine the evidential value of Forensic Face Recognition. When comparing a facial image from a crime scene with a police photograph, forensic experts pay attention to morphologic-anthropologic features, following a prescribed protocol. Biometric face recognition is an automated process, for example used in access control. It does not use morphologic-anthropologic features, but extracts and compares abstract features, resulting in a quantitative similarity score.

The PhD research is embedded in an NWO-project that combines the fields of forensic face comparison and biometric face recognition in order to develop a (partially) automated system for forensic facial comparison that quantifies the evidential value thus supporting the court to make an objective decision. The participants in this NWO-project are located at the Korteweg-de Vries Institute of the UvA, the department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Twente, and the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). Innovative research on the statistical issues within this project is the task of the PhD student we are looking for.

Requirements PhD 2:
The PhD candidate should be interested in applied and mathematical statistics, in biometrics, and in the legal domain. The candidate should have a Master’s degree in mathematics, in statistics, or in a field like biometrics, econometrics, or psychometrics.

The full-time appointment will be on a temporary basis for a maximum period of four years (18 months plus a further 30 months after a positive evaluation) and should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). An educational plan will be drafted that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. The successful applicant will be working under the supervision of prof. dr. M. Sjerps at UvA / NFI and of prof. dr. R. Meester at VU. (PhD 1); prof. dr Chris A.J. Klaassen (UvA) in collaboration with dr ir Raymond Veldhuis (UT) and dr Arnout Ruifrok (NFI) (PhD 2).

The gross monthly salary will range from € 2,042 in the first year to € 2,612 in the final year, according to the Dutch salary scales for PhD students. The annual salary will be increased by 8 % holiday allowance and 8.3 % end-of-year bonus. The Collective Labour Agreement  Dutch Universities (CAO) is applicable.
