About this position

Two postdoctoral positions are open at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Mechanical Engineering, within the #BODIES team led by Eline van der Kruk, Associate Professor in Biomechanical Engineering. Both roles are part of the national consortium “Care is coming home!”, a 5-year collaboration involving Delft University of Technology, the University of Twente, six hospitals, 13 companies, a rehabilitation centre, and five patient organisations focused on bringing care into the home.

Postdoc 1: FES Shorts for Gait Rehabilitation after Stroke (2.5 years, vacancy 3605). This project aims to adapt an existing functional electrical stimulation (FES) shorts system for stroke rehabilitation. The work includes testing and optimizing the system with patients, retraining the stimulation-control algorithm for stroke-specific gait, and evaluating comfort, fit, and usability during prolonged use. The project is in collaboration with Sint Maartenskliniek and Biomex.

Postdoc 2: Markerless Motion Capture for Home Monitoring in Neurological Populations (3 years, vacancy 2628). This project will develop and validate a novel single-camera markerless motion capture system, combining biomechanical realism, diverse synthetic data generation, and privacy-preserving visualization. The goal is to enable clinical assessment and secure long-term home monitoring for neurological populations. The project is in collaboration with Model Health.

Research themes / keywords: biomechanical engineering, rehabilitation, digital health, gait analysis, functional electrical stimulation, markerless motion capture, neurological rehabilitation, home monitoring, stroke rehabilitation, control algorithms, synthetic data, privacy-preserving visualization.

Eligibility highlights: the post does not list detailed formal requirements in the provided text, but the roles clearly target candidates with strong research skills aligned with biomechanics, rehabilitation technology, motion analysis, and computational/algorithmic development. Collaboration with clinical and industrial partners is central.

Funding / contract: these are paid postdoctoral research appointments at TU Delft. The post specifies durations of 2.5 years and 3 years, but does not mention salary, stipend, or tuition.

Application window: apply before 7 September 2026. Use the TU Delft vacancy pages linked in the post to submit the application for the relevant position.

Funding details

Two postdoctoral positions are offered: one for 2.5 years on FES shorts for gait rehabilitation after stroke, and one for 3 years on markerless motion capture for home monitoring in neurological populations. The post does not specify stipend or salary details, but these are paid research positions within the Care is coming home! consortium.

What's required

Applicants should have a strong background relevant to biomechanical engineering, rehabilitation technology, medical imaging or motion capture, and/or control algorithms. The first postdoc requires experience or interest in functional electrical stimulation, patient testing, optimization, gait rehabilitation after stroke, and evaluating comfort, fit, and usability during prolonged use. The second postdoc requires experience or interest in markerless motion capture, biomechanical modelling, synthetic data generation, privacy-preserving visualization, and validation with clinical or home-monitoring applications. Collaboration with hospitals and industry partners is part of both roles.
