You will work in this team
The Faculty of Science has a student body of around 8,000, as well as 1,800 members of staff working in education, research or support services. Researchers and students at the Faculty of Science are fascinated by every aspect of how the world works, be it elementary particles, the birth of the universe or the functioning of the brain.
The Informatics Institute is one of the seven educational institutes of the Faculty of Science (FNWI) and is responsible for the master's programmes in Artificial Intelligence, Computational Science, Computer Science, Information Studies, Software Engineering and System and Network Engineering in which currently at around 1400 students are enrolled. The education is provided by lecturers and researchers working within the GSI itself or at various research institutes, including the Instituut voor Informatica (IvI), the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) and the Korteweg-de Vries Instituut voor Wiskunde (KDV).
