About this position
PhD opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in Textile-Form Weaving (TFW), digital design-fabrication workflows, and sustainable fashion/textile futures.
This position is part of INTERWeuVEN, a Horizon Europe project connecting Europe’s textile heritage with cutting-edge digital manufacturing. The research focuses on a novel approach where woven textile structure and 3D product form emerge simultaneously, aiming for waste-minimised, on-demand, local garment manufacturing.
The PhD researcher will work at the intersection of design methodology, digital workflows, Jacquard weaving, and computational formalisation. Typical tasks include developing design methods for TFW garments and products, building a digital library of garment archetypes, translating 3D garment design into 2D weaving workflows, running user studies with designers, making prototypes and samples, and contributing to research on robotic finishing.
Eligibility is not fully detailed in the post, but the role clearly seeks a curious, motivated researcher with strong interest in cross-disciplinary design research, textile innovation, and sustainable manufacturing. Experience with garment design, weaving, prototyping, user research, or computational design would be relevant.
The position is based at TU Delft in the Netherlands and is funded through Horizon Europe. The post links to the official TU Delft careers page for application details.
