Join Our Research Team

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled PhD candidate to join our research team at the University of Twente. Our team is focused on developing innovative surgical devices and medical microrobots that can navigate through the body with high accuracy.

About the Project

The goal of this research project is to develop methods for modeling and controlling soft/flexible surgical devices and medical microrobots as they interact and navigate through the body. We will use image processing techniques, such as MR and ultrasound imaging modalities, to track and control the path of these devices.

Your Profile
  • You have a master's degree and background in mechanical, biomedical, or electrical engineering, applied physics or nanotechnology or in a closely related discipline.
  • You have excellent skills and practical experience in one or more of the following research areas: system dynamics and control, robotics, mechatronics, mechanical design, image processing, or nano-/micro-fabrication technologies.
Our Offer
  • A full-time 4-year PhD position;
  • We provide excellent mentorship and a stimulating international research environment with excellent facilities;
  • A professional and personal development program within Graduate School Twente;
  • A starting salary of € 2.770 in the first year and a salary of € 3.539 in the fourth year gross per month;
  • A holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3%;
  • A solid pension scheme;
  • A minimum of 29 holidays per year in case of fulltime employment.

We offer a dynamic and international environment, combining the benefits of academic research with a topic of high industrial relevance, excellent working conditions, an exciting scientific environment, and a green and lively campus.
