Postdoc Markerless Motion Capture for Home Monitoring in Neurological Populations
Tijdelijk
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)
Are you passionate about shaping the future of healthcare? Do you want to develop technology that truly matters in people’s lives? Join us in creating radical innovations that support patients at home Job description
The BODIES group, at the department of Biomechanical Engineering TU Delft seeks a motivated postdoctoral researcher for a full-time, fully funded, 36-month project on privacy-preserving, single-camera markerless motion capture for clinical assessment and long-term home monitoring of motor impairments in stroke and Parkinson's disease patients. The position is based at TU Delft, with part of your time spent on-site at Model Health (Leuven, Belgium) for the development of the video-based prototype. You will work closely with Model Health and Moveshelf, embedded in the multidisciplinary "Care is coming home!" program, a 5-year consortium of 2 technical universities (TU Delft, UTwente), 6 hospitals, 13 companies (including Model Health and Moveshelf), 1 rehabilitation centre, and 5 patient organisations. The Challenge Reliable, long-term monitoring of motor impairments outside the clinic is essential to support home-based rehabilitation, yet existing markerless motion capture systems are rarely validated on neurological gait patterns and struggle to generalize across pathology, body morphology, camera viewpoint, and home environments. This position aims to close that gap: you will develop and validate a novel single-camera markerless motion capture system, combining biomechanical realism, synthetic data generation, and privacy-preserving visualization within a single framework, to enable both clinical assessment and secure, long-term home monitoring. You will:
We are seeking an ambitious, hands-on postdoctoral researcher who is excited to push the boundaries of markerless motion capture and its clinical application. You are eager to combine computer vision, biomechanics, and synthetic data generation to build tools that will shape the future of home-based rehabilitation monitoring. You bring:
Working at TU Delft means contributing to solutions that really make a difference. For over 180 years, we have been training engineers who make an impact worldwide in companies, government bodies, or as entrepreneurs. Our alumni turn knowledge into concrete solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow. These challenges are changing rapidly. That is why we focus on themes such as energy, climate, digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart mobility every day. Our education and research are directly aligned with what society needs now and in the future. At TU Delft, our people make the difference. With their knowledge and curiosity, our staff provide a high-quality education and conduct pioneering research that extends beyond the campus. You will have the opportunity to take the initiative, work with others, and grow as a professional. Working at TU Delft means join an international community of professionals and students. Together, we create knowledge, innovations, and solutions that help move the world forward. Faculty Mechanical Engineering
From chip to ship. From machine to human being. From idea to solution. Driven by a deep-rooted desire to understand our environment and discover its underlying mechanisms, research and education at the ME faculty focusses on fundamental understanding, design, production including application and product improvement, materials, processes and (mechanical) systems. ME is a dynamic and innovative faculty with high-tech lab facilities and international reach. It’s a large faculty but also versatile, so we can often make unique connections by combining different disciplines. This is reflected in ME’s outstanding, state-of-the-art education, which trains students to become responsible and socially engaged engineers and scientists.

You will:
- Validate the current markerless motion capture system against marker-based data in stroke patients
- Generate biomechanically accurate synthetic video data to expand training data and enable controlled sensitivity analyses across pathology severity, body morphology, camera viewpoint, and environmental conditions
- Develop a single-camera, home-based markerless system
- Test the algorithm across lab and home-recorded environments to assess real-world performance
- Design clinician-facing visualization tools ensuring privacy-by-design anonymization of patients and their home environment
- Full-time, 36-month postdoctoral position
- Excellent mentorship and a stimulating international research environment with excellent facilities
We are seeking an ambitious, hands-on postdoctoral researcher who is excited to push the boundaries of markerless motion capture and its clinical application. You are eager to combine computer vision, biomechanics, and synthetic data generation to build tools that will shape the future of home-based rehabilitation monitoring. You bring:
- A PhD in Biomechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Vision, Robotics, or a related discipline.
- A strong curiosity for human movement analysis and markerless motion capture.
- Experience with pose estimation, computer vision, and/or synthetic data generation for model training.
- Solid programming skills (e.g., Python) for algorithm development, data analysis, and computational modeling.
- Experience with, or affinity for, clinical/experimental gait data from neurological populations (stroke, Parkinson's disease).
- Excellent organizational and communication skills to manage a multi-site project across academic and industry partners.
- Willingness to travel regularly to Model Health in Leuven, Belgium.
- Ability to work independently while thriving in a collaborative, multidisciplinary consortium team.
- Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
- Proficiency in Dutch is a plus for patient communication; proficiency in Moroccan Arabic or Turkish is an additional advantage.
