Job descriptionAt the faculty of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology, a PhD-position is available within the PATTERN project, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network funded by the EU. The position is open for appointment During the course of2025, with a duration of 48 months hosted by TU/e, and includes a 2-4 months secondment at KU Leuven (BE) and Philips Healthcare (NL).
We are looking for you!
Do you want to be trained to take up a key position mixing electronics and AI for medical electronic equipment? While being part of a prestigious MSCA doctoral network working on the embedding of existing AI technology into a the design for electromagnetic interference in medical equipment? This is your chance!!
Modelling EMC is challenging due to nonlinear behavior, frequency-dependent interactions, complex geometries and many uncertainties involved. Current techniques are heavily limited due computational burden and are often too costly to enable optimization early in the design process. This DC will aim to capture the time-varying behavior of components, connectivity, and operational conditions with machine learning methods, such as Physics-guided Neural Networks (PGNNs) and explore control strategies to design controllers efficiently based on the learnt models to suppress electromagnetic interference within electronic systems. The DC will also support capturing time-varying behavior of EMC and contribute to the design of a medical collaborative system.
Research Programme Description
PATTERN – European Doctoral Network Enabling Artificial Intelligence for Electromagnetic Compatibility consortium is funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement No. 101169295 and UKRI. It groups 9 hiring Universities: Eindhoven University of Technology (NL), University of Twente (NL), KU Leuven (BE), Universiteit Gent (BE), Tomáš Baťa University (CZ), Technische Universität Hamburg (DE), CNRS (FR), NOVA University of Lisbon (PT) and De Montfort University (UK). PATTERN will create a long-lasting, multidisciplinary, academic-industrial network for doctoral training, with leading European industry and academia, to achieve a breakthrough in the design of innovative EMI solutions, throughout their lifecycle, with AI acting as the key enabler of a new design philosophy. For this inclusion to occur, each DC will develop through their research the missing dedicated components, tools and techniques, and apply them to a representative set of EMI solutions under development. This hands-on training is supplemented with several scientific professional courses and an immersive training where the DCs can fine-tune their skills for the Jobs of tomorrow, while addressing the societal challenges of the PATTERN program.

All applications proceed first through the on-line recruitment portal. Candidates apply electronically for one to maximum three positions and indicate their preference. Candidates provide all requested information including a detailed CV (Europass format obligatory), a motivation letter and transcripts of bachelor and master's degree. During the registration, applicants will need to prove that they are eligible (mobility criteria, and English language proficiency). The deadline for the online registration is 30 Sept. 2024.
The PATTERN Recruitment Committee selects between 32 and maximum 48 candidates for the Recruitment Event which will take place Online (Mid-November 2024). The selected candidates provide a 20-minute presentation and are interviewed by the Recruitment Committee. Candidates will be asked about a given domain relevant peer-reviewed paper (prior to the recruitment event) to test their background/profile for the DC position.
Prior to the recruitment event, online interviews between the Supervisor(s) and the candidates are recommended, along with online personality tests.
The final decision will be communicated after the Recruitment Event (End- November 2024). The selected DCs are expected to start their research as quickly as possible in 2025.
All the parties are dedicated to promoting the role of women in science, and, therefore, explicitly encourage women to apply for this position.
