About the Project

The Holland Hybrid Heart consortium, a partnership between leading institutions, was awarded a 10M € grant by the Dutch Research Agenda. This project aims to produce the first soft-robotics, hybrid-tissue heart, with the goal of creating an artificial heart that is pliable, has a pulsatile flow, and a tissue-engineered lining. Our team will work intensively to achieve this ambitious goal, organizing research teams to focus on clear, identifiable goals.

Your Role

As a PhD researcher, you will focus on novel 3D printing techniques of hyperelastic elastomer and investigate novel methods for integration of smart fibers into the printed soft robotic systems. You will aim to propose new tools, printing solutions, and materials to satisfy the required complexity for realization of the soft robotics hybrid heart.

About You

  • You have a strong background in mechanics, mechatronics, robotics, manufacturing and production, or similar fields.
  • You have experimental skills in design, prototyping of robotic systems, mechanisms, and machines.
  • You have experience in mechatronics and programming of robotic systems.
  • You have high knowledge and interest in soft robotics.
  • You have good practical knowledge about 3D printing.
  • You display a strong passion to science and exceptional motivation as a researcher.
  • You like dealing with new concepts and doing original research but you are of critical approach to evaluating experimental findings.
  • You are fluent in English.
  • You are a great teammate.
  • Experience in the laboratory and additive manufacturing, soft robotic technologies, micro fabrication, mechanisms, and robotic systems, and material processing techniques will be considered as an advantage.

Our Offer

  • An appointment for 4 years as a PhD researcher.
  • A salary ranging from € 2.770,- gross per month in the first year to € 3.539,- gross per month in the 4th year of your PhD appointment.
  • Terms of employment in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Universities.
