The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is seeking an enthusiastic PhD candidate for the NWO-funded project 'Breaking BIASmechanics'. This research opportunity focuses on the development of more inclusive musculoskeletal models for human movement, aiming to advance the field of biomechanics and promote inclusivity in biomechanical modeling. The successful candidate will work with advanced experimental and computational techniques, including MRI-DTI, ultrasound, muscle stimulation, EMG, motion capture, and anatomical dissection. The project involves large-scale studies with human participants and offers the chance to collaborate with a transdisciplinary team of experts in biomechanics, clinical sciences, sports (NOC*NSF), medical imaging (UMC Utrecht, Erasmus MC), and industry partners (Model Health, VITRONIC Machine Vision). Key research areas include biomechanics, musculoskeletal modeling, human movement analysis, and inclusive modeling practices. The position is based at TU Delft, a leading institution in engineering and technology research, and is part of the Mechanical Engineering department. The project is funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO), ensuring a supportive research environment and access to state-of-the-art facilities. Applicants should have a strong background in biomechanics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, or related fields. Experience with experimental techniques such as MRI-DTI, ultrasound, muscle stimulation, EMG, motion capture, or anatomical dissection is highly desirable. The ideal candidate is collaborative, motivated, and passionate about advancing inclusive research in human movement. Proficiency in English is required. For more information and to apply, please visit the official TU Delft careers page. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates interested in biomechanics, inclusive modeling, and interdisciplinary research at a top European university.
