Un saludo y hasta pronto,

Postdoc BioToHydRow
Challenge: How does a rower transmit power to the water during an elite race?
Change: To understand the interplay of the blade path in water and the corresponding stroke technique that delivers the most propulsion for the least amount of human energy.
Impact: Elite and Olympic rowing races are won by seconds--even a small gain in efficiency (1-2%) can yield more medals.

Job description
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher for an 18-month contract to develop coupled musculoskeletal and hydrodynamic models, perform novel simulations and collect experimental data to identify model parameters and to test model accuracy. We aim to develop a rowing simulation environment that enables us to refine oar, blade and oarlock design and adjust athlete technique to maximize efficiency at high speeds.

Your project is supported by a Cohesion grant between the departments of Biomechanical Engineering and Process & Energy at TU Delft. You will simultaneously work as a member of the Computational Biomechanics Lab and the Fluid Mechanics Lab under the guidance of Ajay Seth and Arnoud Greidanus, respectively. The work within this program is multi-disciplinary and involves computational modeling and experimental research with support of specialists (scientific/non-scientific). An extensive lab equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment are widely available for the experimental work.

You will have the opportunity to supervise MSc and PhD candidates in both departments, attend scientific and sports related conferences, teach, and apply for external funding to grow your academic career.

We are looking for researchers that can start by September/October 2023 at the latest.

Requirements
You should have:

PhD in mechanical engineering or similar discipline by the start date of the position.
Proficiency in modeling multibody systems and/or fluid dynamics.
Experience with a programming language (e.g., C++, Python, Java, Matlab, etc.).
Experience collecting experimental data (human biomechanics, vehicle, or similar).
Good written and oral communication skills in English.
The following aspects will help you stand out:

Thriving in multidisciplinary environments.
Motivation and interest in studying rowing dynamics.
Curiosity-driven working attitude.
Knowledge of biomechanical modeling, computational fluid dynamics, vision-based motion capture, machine learning, etc.
Please keep in mind these requirements reflect skills and knowledge we feel would be most beneficial for the candidate. However, if you feel strongly that you are up for the challenge and have novel ideas we absolutely want to see your application! We are happy to be surprised by different skill sets and backgrounds we did not anticipate.

Application procedure
Are you interested in this vacancy? Please apply before July 10, 2023.

To apply, please complete the application form and add the following documents to your application:

Motivation letter.
Detailed CV.
Copies of your BSc and MSc degrees and transcripts
PhD degree and transcript.
Names and contact information of at least three relevant references. We will not contact references without your consent.
Proof of English language level
A pre-employment screening can be part of the selection procedure.

Applications online only. We will not process applications sent by email and/or post.
