About this role
Erasmus MC - Junior researcher: the MOBI lab Research in biomechanics, imaging, and implementation science in the MOBI lab - Closing date 19-10-2026 - 3975 - 14 hours - HBO - Research & Education - Closing date 19-10-2026 - 3975 Job description Our department is looking for a Junior Researcher to support several ongoing projects within the MOBI lab, the MOtion Biomechanics and Imaging lab. The MOBI lab represents a collaboration between Erasmus MC and TU Delft and is a motion analysis laboratory that includes a traditional motion capture system (MOTEK instrumented treadmill, Vicon/Nexus motion capture), an innovative embedded fluoroscopy system, an instrumented stationary bike, and more. Our research is focused on understanding the role of biomechanics in the development of osteoarthritis and improving the assessment and personalized treatment of individuals with osteoarthritis. As a Junior Researcher, you will: - Write study protocols and support securing ethical approval to perform studies. - Recruit and enroll participants and assist with data collection. - Help maintain the MOBI lab. - Communicate with stakeholders such as patients, clinicians, and industry partners. - Depending on the individual, analyse data and disseminate study findings through presenting at conferences and publishing study findings in peer reviewed journals. Work environment The Junior Researcher will be embedded within and supported by a team of researchers within the Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine at Erasmus MC; and will collaborate with researchers in other Departments (e.g., Radiology & Nuclear Medicine), other institutions (e.g., the Department of Biomechanical Engineering at TU Delft), and other sectors (e.g., Moveshelf BV). They will primarily perform their work at Erasmus MC in the Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, though they will also spend time in the Radiology Department where the MOBI lab is located, o...
