Professor in Mechanical Engineering: Advanced Control of Aeronautic Systems
il y a 2 semaines
KU Leuven offers a full-time professor position in the area of mechanical engineering and is looking for internationally oriented candidates with an excellent interdisciplinary research record in the field of advanced control of (unmanned) aeronautic systems.
As a successful applicant, the candidate will be appointed to the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering Technology of KU Leuven. The vacant position is located at Bruges Campus, and the research activities will be embedded in the co-located Mechatronics Group (M-Group).
The candidate will develop a research programme at an international level in the area of advanced control in aeronautic systems, combining knowledge of aeronautic systems, control, and optimization, and using in-depth physical insights as well as data-driven techniques.
The focus will be on the enhancement of aerial system performance (flight performance, stability, reliability, efficiency) through control and/or on optimal motion planning, control, and coordination of multiple (semi)autonomous aerial systems and their integration into multi-modal logistics, surveillance, and the digitized industry. Targeted applications include, amongst others, robust flight controls, automated flight in harsh operating conditions, performance optimization by control, and multimodal drone systems.
Duration: 2 years
TasksThe key responsibilities include:
- Engaging in targeted scientific research, resulting in PhDs and publications that meet international standards and lead to broad international recognition.
- Supporting or initiating a network of companies through the valorization of research results and by delivering industrial services aimed at strengthening industrial innovation.
- Developing international partnerships, within the academic world as well as with industrial partners.
- Acquiring competitive funding, both project-based government funding and industrial funding.
- Striving for excellence and thus contributing to the continued development of the M-Group and the faculty.
- Providing high-quality education for both bachelor and master students in the fields of aeronautics, mechatronics, and mechanical engineering with a clear commitment to the quality of the programme as a whole.
- Contributing to the faculty's and the university's pedagogical projects through the supervision of student projects (for example, bachelor's and master's theses) and by acting as a supervisor of PhD students.
- Devoting attention to the valorization tracks and technology transfer and application of the results of their research in industry, government, and society.
- Facilitating scientific onboarding and accelerating research in the first phase, with a starting grant of 110,000 Euro offered to new professors without substantial other funding, appointed for at least 50%.
- KU Leuven welcomes foreign professors and their families and provides practical support regarding immigration & administration, housing, childcare, learning Dutch, and partner career coaching.
Interested applicants should meet the following qualifications:
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a similarly qualified degree with a strong interest in the research field of advanced control of aeronautic (unmanned) systems.
- Industrial experience or an extended network in the relevant industrial sector is an important advantage. A strong record of collaborations with industry is a plus.
- A strong (applied) research profile. Successful project applications and valorisation in cooperation with industry is a benefit.
- International experience is an important advantage.
- Demonstrable qualities related to academic education. Teaching experience is an advantage.
- Possess organizational skills and a cooperative attitude, with leadership capacities within a university context.
- Proficiency in English is required; however, KU Leuven provides courses in academic English if necessary.
Applications should include:
- A biosketch indicating the candidate's added value as an academic for research, education, and service to society of past career and future activities (maximum 2 pages);
- A file on the five most important publications or realizations;
- An extensive CV including a full publication list;
- A research plan focusing on the development of the research line and research team in relation to the colleague-researchers of the entity of employment (maximum 4 pages);
