The Institute for Informatics at the University of Amsterdam is seeking to hire a highly motivated Assistant Professor in the broad area of Computing and Sustainability to join our team. This is a tenure-track position placed in the Computational Science Lab at the Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam.

Simulation-based Science is about formulating computational models of phenomena that we observe and performing computer simulations to deepen our understanding of the complex adaptive systems that underpin these phenomena. We are looking for a Computational Scientist whose research addresses challenges related to sustainability, this connection can be in various forms, for example: Computational Modelling of/for Sustainability, Complexity Science and Sustainability, Digital Twins and Sustainability, Energy Efficient Simulations (e.g. in HPC)

The theme of AI4Science and ‘scientific machine learning’ is increasing in importance in our Informatics Institute, and collaborations in that direction would be welcomed.

The potential scope of the Tenure Track position is broad, but the candidate should preferably align with ongoing research at the Computational Science Lab and your research should be centred around Modelling and Simulation (including HPC) or Complexity Science and connect to the theme of sustainability.

The candidate is expected to contribute to education at the institute and play an important role in the Master of Computational Science, a joint degree programme of the UvA and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, attracting more than 100 students per year from a wide range of academic backgrounds.

The tenure tracker is expected to acquire his/her own independent funding from sources such as the Dutch Science Foundation, the European Commission (e.g., DestinE), and industry.
