Applications are invited for two postdoc researchers to initiate and carry out research that connects the various robotics departments involved in Twente Robotics.

The Challenge

As a postdoctoral researcher at Twente Robotics

• You will have a senior role and be engaged in running national and international projects;
• You are a great teammate working on a broad range of robotics topics with special focus on tele-robotics and wearable robotics;
• You will function as a bridge among the various groups within Twente Robotics;
• You will be involved in the supervision of PhD students.
• Besides conducting research and publishing its results, you will support acquiring funds from our national science foundation, the European Union, companies, or other resources to start new projects;

You will be embedded in the department of Biomechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Technology (www.utwente.nl/en/et/be) or in the department of Robotics and Mechatronics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (www.ram.ewi.utwente.nl). However, your primary focus will be cross-departmental while operating in the fields of wearable robotics, tele-robotics or medical robotics.
