About the role / Segment

Strategy &
Innovation group of Siemens Industry Software NV in Leuven, Belgium is looking
for a PhD candidate to join a three-year research training within the EU-funded
MCSA doctoral network IN-DEEP. You will be hosted
at Siemens in Leuven and be enrolled in the PhD program at KU Leuven.

As a doctoral
candidate within the IN-DEEP project you will be at the forefront of developing
new hybrid machine learning (ML) accelerated solvers.

A fast-expanding
area of research is the application of ML techniques to predict physical
phenomena (fluid flow, solid deformation, etc.). In this domain, one of the
most promising approaches is to not try to replace completely traditional
numerical methods with ML algorithm but instead use those to enhance part of
the solver when it is relevant.

In that vein, your
work will be focused on designing novel hybrid algorithms combining classical
numerical methods with deep learning approaches aimed at accelerating the
solver and/or increasing accuracy, as well as coming up with training
strategies for those algorithms.

International mobility

As a PhD candidate, you will be employed for
36 months by Siemens in Leuven, Belgium. During this period, you will also
undertake placements at AGH, Poland and at BCAM, Spain.

Requirements

Specific
Eligibility Criteria on the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA)
program apply, including the mobility rule and PhD rules. In particular you
must not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc…)
in Belgium for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to your
recruitment under the IN-DEEP project and be — at the date of recruitment — a
doctoral candidate (i.e. not already in possession of a doctoral degree). Applicants
of any nationality are welcome.

Your qualifications

Required Qualifications:

• A Master’s degree in Applied
Mathematics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
or a related field.

• Strong background in numerical
methods, modelling, and simulation.

• Experience with programming
languages such as Python, C++or MATLAB

• Excellent analytical and
problem-solving skills.

• Ability to work independently as
well as in a team.

• Good communication and
interpersonal skills.

• Strong motivation to conduct
research and publish results in high-quality scientific journals.

• Fluency in English (both written
and spoken).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Machine Learning

• Familiarity with Deep learning
framework such as Pytorch/Tensorflow/Jax/…

• Publications in relevant
scientific journals or conferences.

Offer

The DC will be
hosted in the Research Department of SISW in Leuven, Belgium, and registered as
a doctoral candidate in KU Leuven. The
successful candidate will benefit from an innovation-driven industrial environment.
Personalized career development plans will be established to support the needs
of the PhD candidate.

The DC will
receive an attractive salary in accordance with the MSCA regulations. The
financial package will include: 1) Living allowance yearly gross budget:
40.800€/year (country correction coefficient applies) (Includes salary, employers’
cost and different benefits), 2) Mobility allowance of €600, 3) Family
allowance (€660), if applicable. The exact (net) salary will be confirmed upon
appointment and is dependent on local tax, social and health insurance regulations,
and the country correction factor.

Start time: before and up to
