You have a PhD in Science or Engineering and Technology. The subject of your thesis falls within the fields of applied mathematics and/or statistics and/or data science.
You have proven experience in university teaching, ideally supported by formal evaluations.
Teaching skills
You possess excellent teaching skills. You have significant experience of public speaking. In this regard, experience of university teaching is an important asset. Ideally, you will have gained this experience with a variety of audiences (such as small and large groups of students).
In your teaching, you will pay particular attention to the diversity of the student body on entry to university and the challenges this poses for student success, and you will use teaching methods that take this into account. You will make explicit and regular links between the mathematics (or quantitative methods) taught and their application in the fields of economics and management.
In your application, you should outline a high-quality and innovative teaching plan for teaching quantitative methods to undergraduate students in economics and management.
You will have the opportunity to demonstrate your teaching ability during a maths lesson delivered in front of the recruitment panel.
Research Skills
You have extensive experience in working with large datasets used in economics and management, their statistical analysis and processing, including through machine learning.
You have significant scientific publications in mathematics, statistics, intelligent systems or related fields in peer-reviewed international journals and/or in monographs and edited volumes. Publications in the fields of economics or management are essential.
The potential for links between your research topics and the research projects being carried out at the Centre for Applied Economics (CAPE, https://uclouvain.be/fr/instituts-recherche/iris/centre-d-analyse-des-politiques-economiques) is also essential. Research at CAPE has a significant collaborative dimension. A sense of team spirit and a willingness to contribute to the common good are therefore important qualities.
The following are also considered assets:
- Research stays at institutions other than the one that awarded the PhD
- Leadership skills
- Experience in securing external funding.
Language Skills
You must have a perfect command (C2 level) of French from the start of your employment. If French is not your mother tong, your proficiency is demonstrated by at least two years’ university study in French or it is certified by an external body.
You must also have a very good command of English
