Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at the University of Twente. The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic and international environment, working on the development of innovative compression systems for medical applications.

Objective

The PhD project aims to design and develop dynamic and adaptable actuation systems for compression devices. The focus will be on 'on-body' applications, which can be realized with a controlled compression level and changing loading conditions for patients in occupational domains or those with chronic pain. The system must be modular, scalable, compact, and easily applicable to different body parts. Additionally, the actuation principle may be extended to 'in-body' devices tailored to restore internal organ functionality, such as assisting urinary bladder drainage.

Your Profile
  • You have, or will shortly acquire, a master's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, Biomedical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • You have profound knowledge and skills in Actuators & Sensors, System engineering, and Prototyping techniques.
  • You have affinity with medical applications and device design, and are willing to dive deeper into these topics.
  • You have good team spirit and like to work in an interdisciplinary and internationally oriented environment.
  • You are fluent in English, both spoken and written, and have strong analytical, organizational, and managerial skills.
Our Offer

We offer a very stimulating position in a dynamic and international environment with enthusiastic colleagues, excellent working conditions, and a green and lively campus.

  • A fully funded full-time 4-year PhD position.
  • Excellent mentorship and a stimulating international research environment.
  • A training program as part of the Twente Graduate School, where you and your supervisors will determine a plan for suitable education and supervision.
  • A starting salary of € 2.770 gross per month in the first year and a salary of € 3.539 gross per month in the fourth year.
  • A holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3%.
  • The flexibility to work (partially) from home.
  • A solid pension scheme.
  • Minimum of 29 holidays per year in case of fulltime employment.
  • We encourage a high degree of responsibility and independence, while collaborating with close colleagues, researchers, and other staff.

We encourage non-male applicants to apply for this position, as part of the University of Twente's strategy to increase the proportion of women among its faculty and create a diverse and inclusive working environment that supports excellence in research and teaching.
