Overview

Minimally invasive surgical techniques have transformed the field of medicine by allowing procedures to be performed without extensive incisions, leading to improved patient outcomes. This research initiative focuses on the development of advanced methods for modeling and controlling various soft and flexible surgical instruments, as well as medical microrobots, to enhance their navigation and interaction within the human body.

Research Goals

The primary objective of this project is to enhance targeting precision during surgical interventions. This will involve the creation of innovative techniques for tracking and controlling the pathways of these cutting-edge devices using imaging technologies, including magnetic resonance and ultrasound modalities.

Your Qualifications

  • A master's degree in mechanical, biomedical, or electrical engineering, applied physics, nanotechnology, or a closely related field.
  • Demonstrated expertise and hands-on experience in one or more of the following domains: system dynamics and control, robotics, mechatronics, mechanical design, image processing, or nano-/micro-fabrication technologies. Experience that intersects these areas is advantageous.

What We Offer

  • A full-time, four-year doctoral position.
  • Comprehensive mentorship and a dynamic international research atmosphere with state-of-the-art facilities.
  • A structured professional and personal development program through the Graduate School Twente.
  • A competitive starting salary of €2,770 in the first year, increasing to €3,539 by the fourth year, gross per month.
  • An annual holiday allowance of 8% of the gross salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3%.
  • A robust pension plan.
  • A minimum of 29 vacation days per year for full-time employment.
