- € 2,872 - € 3,670-
- Deadline- 10 Nov 2024**The project**:
The landscape of wearable assistive robots is evolving. These devices are becoming lighter, more flexible, and more integrated with the user. However, current human-machine interface models fail to fully capture the complex interaction between the soft exosuits and the human body. This often leads to inefficient transfer of assistance from the exosuit to the wearer.
**The PhD opening**:
The machine-learning landscape is constantly evolving with advances on what AI can do. You should be adaptable to integrating the latest advances in the field for your research. You will have the opportunities to present your work at conferences, building academic or industrial networks to support your future career. Additionally, your role will involve contributing to the education of Bachelor’s and Masters’s students at the University.
**Your profile**:
- M.Sc. degree in Computer Science, AI, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related degrees.
- Experience with reinforcement learning in Python. Affinity with C++ is a plus.
- Experience in biomechanical modelling of human or robot movement.
- Interpersonal and organizational skills, creativity, motivation, and communication (oral and written) ability.
- Fluent in written and oral English.
- Ability to pivot with advances in machine learning techniques.
- Knowledge of multi-body dynamics simulation software (e.g. OpenSim, AnyBody, or others).
- Mentorship experience.
**Our offer**:
- A full-time four-year PhD position.
- A starting salary of € 2.872;
- in the first year and growing to € 3.670;
- in the fourth-year gross per month.
- 30% tax ruling option.
- A holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3%.
- A minimum of 29 holidays in case of full-time employment.
- A proven pension scheme.
- Professional and personal development programs.
- Extraordinary research facilities and working environment:
- Access to the several equipment and laboratories within the Biomechanical Engineering Department.
- Work location within a knowledge park with direct access to a large number of tech-companies and start-ups.
- Proximity to Enschede, a mid-size city with a large social offer, embedded in the beautiful nature of the Twente region.
- Fun work atmosphere with social events such as lab retreats.
The first round of interviews will be held in the **second half of November**. Applications should include the following documents:
- A personal video (2-minutes max) highlighting your fit for this position and the possible directions you will take over the four year PhD to achieve the scientific goals.
- A CV (2-page max) including English proficiency level, nationality, visa requirements, date of birth as well as programming skills, experience overview, publication list (if any), and hobbies.
- Transcripts from your BSc and MSc degrees.
