The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS) at Twente University is seeking postdoc researchers in robotics and mechatronics.
In Intelligent Robotic Endoscopes (IRE) for Improved Healthcare Services, the faculty envisions creating intelligent robotics solutions, extending current endoscope technology with robotics control that is based on learning from currently collected human operator data, coupled with novel bio-mechanical modelling techniques, sensory feedback, and a soft robotics phantom for training. IRE will enable a new generation of intelligent robots that, through data, simulation, and learning, can interact with the interior of a living human while communicating with a human operator.
As a postdoc researcher, the candidate will conduct innovative research related to modelling, transducers, 3D printing, soft robotics, and mechatronics, pushing the boundaries of knowledge in these domains. Collaborate with leading researchers and institutions across Europe, gaining valuable experience in an international research environment.
Duration: 2 years.
Salary
- Gross salary ranging from € 3.877,- to € 5.090,- per month, including holiday allowance (8%) and end-of-year bonus (8.3%);
- A total of 41 holiday days in case of full-time employment
