Do you want to support groundbreaking research and education in imaging physics? At TU Delft, you will help researchers, PhD candidates and students work with advanced computational systems, data-intensive applications, and modern ICT tools.

Job Description

The Department of Imaging Physics at Delft University of Technology develops advanced imaging systems that contribute to scientific and societal impact. Research within the department focuses on innovative instrumentation, data processing and algorithm development for imaging applications.

As an ICT Support Technician, you support the department’s research and education activities by maintaining and improving computational and educational ICT services. You operate in a highly independent way and interact closely with researchers, PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers and teaching staff in a dynamic and international work environment.

You contribute to solutions for storage and transfer of big data, while supporting hardware and operating systems across Windows, macOS and Linux environments. Your work includes the installation, maintenance and monitoring of Linux-based computational servers and supporting software development activities in Python, MATLAB, C++, CUDA and Fortran.

In addition, you help maintain and improve web-based educational and development tools such as JupyterBooks, MkDocs, Git and continuous integration environments. You act as a connecting link between the department and central ICT services at faculty and university level.

You will join a departmental support team of three highly-motivated technical professionals responsible for hardware, software and data-acquisition optimisation. Together, you strengthen the research infrastructure that enables approximately 30 staff members, 75 PhD candidates and 15 postdoctoral researchers to perform high-level research and education.

TU Delft offers a collaborative and internationally oriented working environment with opportunities for professional development, technical learning and collaboration with leading researchers in computational imaging and applied physics.
