Zusammenfassung

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) seeks a postdoctoral researcher for a fully funded project on clinical validation of single-camera markerless motion capture for home monitoring of motor impairments in stroke and Parkinson's disease patients. The position is based at TU Delft with measurements at clinical sites and patients' homes, including travel to Model Health in Leuven, Belgium.

You will work with clinicians and engineers to verify accuracy, develop validation protocols, and

Qualifikationen

• PhD in Biomechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Human Movement Sciences, or related field.
• Hands-on experience with musculoskeletal modelling tools (OpenSim, AnyBody).
• Experience with marker-based 3D motion capture systems (Vicon/Qualisys) and force plates.
• Strong coding skills in Python and/or MATLAB for data processing and analysis.
• Experience with patient populations and home-based measurements is a plus.

Aufgaben

• Verify and validate a single-camera markerless motion capture system against gold-standard 3D capture and musculoskeletal models.
• Use modelling to compare markerless vs marker-based estimates and assess biomechanical plausibility.
• Collaborate with clinicians and patients to ensure outcomes are meaningful in home environments.
• Contribute to clinician-facing visualizations with privacy by design for patient homes.
• Develop a research plan leading to peer-reviewed publications within the consortium.
