About this position

PhD position at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in Mechanical Engineering / Biomechanical Engineering.

The project, “Breaking BIASmechanics”, is a NWO (Dutch Research Council) funded research project focused on developing more inclusive musculoskeletal models. The successful candidate will work on computational modelling methods to infer internal skeletal and muscular geometry from external body shape.

Research methods and topics include parametric modelling, statistical modelling, MR imaging, 3D body scanning, and video-based motion capture. The work is highly interdisciplinary and involves collaboration with experts in biomechanics, clinical sciences, sports (NOC*NSF), medical imaging, and industry partners such as Model Health and VITRONIC Machine Vision.

This is a PhD opening, not a postdoc or master’s call. The post does not mention a scholarship programme name, tuition waiver, or language-test waiver. A deadline is given: 13 May 2026.

Interested applicants should use the application link and follow the TU Delft job posting instructions. The opportunity is especially relevant for candidates with backgrounds in biomechanics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, computational modelling, and human movement analysis.

Funding details

PhD position open in a NWO (Dutch Research Council) project. The post indicates a funded doctoral position, but no stipend amount, tuition details, or other financial terms are stated in the post text.

What's required

Looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate with interest in computational modelling, biomechanics, and inclusive musculoskeletal modelling. The project involves parametric and statistical modelling, MR imaging, 3D body scanning, and video-based motion capture, so relevant quantitative, programming, or modelling experience would be beneficial. Collaboration across biomechanics, clinical sciences, sports, medical imaging, and industry is expected.
