research of international standing. The university takes special care to ensure
optimal support for and supervision of its students and pays constant attention
to innovation in education. The university is an autonomous pluralist
institution that is committed to the enhancement of an open, democratic and

The Faculty of Applied Economics has a full-time vacancy
(m/f) for a
Doctoral Grant
at the
Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Sciences

Statistical experimental design for large-scale experimentation in

thesis of the research project described below. In doing so, you will apply for
externally funded research grants. You will contribute to the research of the
Department and to resulting publications. You may be involved in some limited
teaching-related activities in the field of the Department.
Project description. The project is concerned with
the construction of programs of experiments in marketing and industry. These
are used to study the impact of various factors on a response variable. The
settings of the factors are often chosen according to a so-called orthogonal
array. In this project, several methods will be explored to find arrays for
large numbers of factors with various numbers of settings. Also, methods for
arranging these arrays in subsets will be sought. This is because, in marketing
experiments, each respondent has to evaluate a separate subset. In industrial
experiments, subsets are important too, because it is usually only possible to
make small numbers of observations under homogeneous conditions.

degree or equivalent in commercial engineering or a field related to
Mathematics or Statistics. Your teaching and research qualities are compatible
with the policies of the University
of Antwerp . You can provide evidence of an excellent
