Department/faculty: Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
Level: Master degree
Working hours: 38 hours per week (1 FTE)
Contract: This position has a temporary employment basis of four years (48 months).
Salary: Maximum of € 2558 per month gross with full-time employment
Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
The 3ME Faculty trains committed engineering students and PhD candidates in groundbreaking scientific research in the fields of mechanical, maritime and materials engineering. 3ME is the epitome of a dynamic, innovative faculty, with a European scope that contributes demonstrable economic and social benefits.
The Department of Biomechanical Engineering coordinates education and research activities in the field of mechanical engineering techniques, including modeling and design, to analyze the interaction between medical, biological and technical systems. An important aspect of the research topics is how surgeons control their instruments during complex surgical procedures. For more information see www.misit.nl.
Job description
Minimally invasive surgical techniques require special manual skills. Accurate control of the surgical instruments is of utmost importance for dexterous performance and patient safety. To obtain automated assessment of dexterity, registration of instrument motion and forces is necessary. Combining motion analysis with an analysis of the forces enables the development of metrics and feedback systems to support the surgeon. In this project, the PhD student will integrate motion capture of the surgical instruments with force sensing into one measurement system, as well as develop analysis tools for assessment of skills in surgical tasks. The developed measurement and analysis tools should finally result in the clinical implementation of a surgical training system. The international nature of the research offers opportunities to travel and to work abroad. An applicability orientation is reflected by the department’s support to start-up companies.
The project is funded by Medical Delta - Health, Science & Technology (www.medicaldelta.nl), a consortium of Delft University of Technology, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Erasmus University Medical Centre Rotterdam (Erasmus MC), Leiden University and Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC). The research is conducted in close collaboration with LUMC and covers one clinical PhD student at LUMC and one in Biomechanical Engineering at DUT.
Requirements
The Department of Biomechanical Engineering is looking for outstanding engineers with an M.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and/or biomedical engineering. The candidate should have a broad interest in mechanical design and sensor technology, preferably with experience in the field of human-machine interaction. Experience in programming languages such as Matlab or C++ is a requisite. The candidate must have an affinity for working in the medical field.
