ABOUT GHENT UNIVERSITY

Ghent University is a world of its own. Employing more than 15.000 people, it is actively involved in education and research, management and administration, as well as technical and social service provision on a daily basis. It is one of the largest, most exciting employers in the area and offers great career opportunities.
With its 11 faculties and more than 85 departments offering state-of-the-art study programes grounded in research in a wide range of academic fields, Ghent University is a logical choice for its staff and students.
For IDLab-EM we are looking for a (m/f/x) Phd student

YOUR JOB

We are looking for a PhD candidate in the field of computational electromagnetics, a field on the crossroads of scientific computing, electrical engineering, and numerical analysis.
At the electromagnetics group at Ghent University, we aim to accelerate the development of the time-domain boundary element method into a method that can model highly non-linear, strongly radiating systems and that unlocks the modelling capacity with applications in for example emerging technologies in THz communications and imaging. In this doctoral project, you will develop novel modelling methodologies that allow the integrated simulation of complex sensors made from multiple materials, and including ports, coatings, and two-dimensional materials such as graphene. This requires the numerical analysis of novel boundary element methods, the design of efficient algorithms for their implementation on state-of-the-art distributed computing infrastructure, and their application to real world devices accounting for the highly complex semiconductor physics that gives rise to their behavior. This project is part of a larger European ERC consolidator project BET3D.
We offer the opportunity to conduct full-time research in an international research environment at Ghent University. You will be working towards the academic degree of Doctor in Applied Sciences. As part of the requirements for awarding the PhD degree, you will publish your work in peer reviewed journals and present your work at international conferences. You have four years to meet the requirements for awarding the PhD degree, at which point you will defend your research in front of a panel of experts.

Job profile

Applicants are required to hold a master’s degree in mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or equivalent. We look for motivated doctoral candidates with interest in one or multiple of the following domains:

  • Computational electromagnetics
  • Finite element and boundary element methods
  • Domain decomposition methods
  • Distributed high performance computing
  • Numerical analysis and numerical linear algebra
  • The physics and applications of 2D materials
  • Sensors and antennas in THz technology

Please do not be discouraged if your interests lie in only one or a few of the above. We extend our search to both specialists and generalists.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

  • We offer a full-time position as a doctoral fellow, consisting of an initial period of 12 months, which – after a positive evaluation, will be extended to a total maximum of 48 months.
  • Your contract will start on 01/12/2024 at the earliest.
  • The fellowship amount is 100% of the net salary of an AAP member in equal family circumstances. The individual fellowship amount is determined by the Department of Personnel and Organization based on family status and seniority. A grant that meets the conditions and criteria of the regulations for doctoral fellowships is considered free of personal income tax. Click here for more information about our salary scales
  • All Ghent University staff members enjoy a number of benefits, such as a wide range of training and education opportunities, 36 days of holiday leave (on an annual basis for a full-time job) supplemented by annual fixed bridge days, bicycle allowance and eco vouchers. Click here for a complete overview of all the staff benefits (in Dutch).
