based on full-time€ 3,877 – € 5,090Deadline31 May 2024The chair of Precision Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering Technology of the University of Twente invites applications for a postdoctoral position within the Chair of Precision Engineering. The focus is on advancing modelling techniques for precision design and control.The field of high-performance mechatronics produces the world’s most accurate machines for fields such as healthcare, semicon and energy. These machines are highly complex, with a large number of components and multi-domain interactions. Our team at Precision Engineering innovates in this field. We develop and leverage flexible multibody dynamics software to create models that enable design optimization and motion control of these systems. In particular, we specialize in the use of flexure mechanisms (sometimes: compliant mechanisms) to achieve highly precise motion requirements.The aim of the project is to further develop the numerical modelling techniques, ranging from the flexible multibody dynamics formulation, gradient-based optimization to model reduction techniques and hardware acceleration, with the goal to perform design optimization and model-based control.Please note that this vacancy is only open to female scientists. This is part of the University of Twente’s strategy to increase the proportion of women among its faculty and to create a working environment that is diverse, inclusive and supportive of excellence in research and teaching.Your profile
