Assistant Professor in Pervasive Systems (Sensing Systems & Data Analytics)

We seek a colleague who builds sensing systems, from sensing and embedded devices, through the movement and processing of data, to intelligence at the edge, and who is equally motivated to bring that expertise into the classroom. This is a balanced research and education position for someone who wants both to grow their own research line and to shape how the next generation of (research) engineers learns to build pervasive, sensing-driven systems. The balance is approximately 50/50 between research and education, and the education share can be higher for a candidate with a stronger education focus.

What you will do:

• Research with impact: You will develop your own research line in sensing systems and/or the analysis and processing of sensor data, for example building and deploying sensing systems (wearable, ambient, RF, distributed), edge and on-device data processing and machine learning, resilient distributed architectures for sensing, sensor-data fusion and analytics, or the orchestration of sensing, computation and communication across the device–edge–cloud continuum. You will have the freedom to define your own accents while connecting to and strengthening the themes and vision of the Pervasive Systems group.
• Acquisition & supervision: You will (grow toward) acquiring your own research funding, supervising PhD, EngD and MSc students, and contributing to the group’s scientific output and collaborations.
• Inspiring education: You will take a full and valued role in our teaching. You will teach and coordinate in our BSc programmes, including Creative Technology (CreaTe) and Technical Computer Science (TCS), and in our MSc programmes (including EMSYS, CS), develop course material, and supervise thesis projects.
• Collaboration & academic citizenship: You will work in a multidisciplinary, systems-oriented environment, contribute to group flagships such as our sensing benchmarks and pilot deployments across different application domains, and take part in the group’s academic and organisational life.
