PhD student Biostatistics (2×2 years) @ Hasselt University, Belgium

Description: PhD in Mathematics, applied to research in ‘Biostatistics and Bioinformatics’
The research topic consists of biostatistical applications to answer scientific questions in pharmaceutical discovery and development. Data coming from different phases in the pharmaceutical research will be available to focus on statistical method development for allometric scalling. Some of the data come from the area of pharmacokinetics, in-vitro and in-vivo experimentation including clinical trial data. The data of the different phases will have to be analyzed on an individual basis. However development of statistical methods to link the different phases to one another will also be an important part of the research. Statistical models that will be considered include : linear and non-linear mixed models, surrogate-marker methodology, multivariate projection methods and meta-analysis.
Requirements: Master degree in (Bio-)Statistics or an equivalent degree. Research experience is considered an advantage (e.g. by M.Sc. dissertation). Applicants should have a good knowledge of English. Presentation of TOEFL-results or an equivalent certificate of knowledge of English is

Postdoc Fellowships(Two) in Automated Damage Localization Systems for Civil Engineering Structures @ Université Libre de Bruxelles(ULB),Belgium- Subject: Mechanical or Civil engineering

Description:. This project deals with the next level of SHM which is damage localization and focuses on the problem of cracking in prestressed concrete. The challenge is to design a data-based damage localization system based on output-only ambient vibrations. The main ingredients of the proposed method are: (i) the use of very large strain sensor networks, (ii) the development of automated and efficient data processing methods based on local spatial filters or several layers of spatio-temporal filters, and (iii) alarm triggering techniques based on unsupervised learning methods. The major innovation in this project is the use of advanced computational techniques for the creation of a large data set of virtual campaigns which are used for the design and optimization of the SHM system. In addition to these virtual campaigns, experimental developments are also foreseen, with a specific emphasis on the evaluation of different techniques for dynamic strain measurements.
Requirements: The candidates should hold a PhD in Mechanical or Civil engineering and should not have been working previously in Belgium. For the first position, experience in numerical modeling preferably in the field of non-linear mechanics or vibrations is necessary. For the second position, experience in experimental vibration testing and instrumentation is required.
