PhD Position Movement Biomarkers in Stroke Recovery
100%, Zurich, fixed-term print Drucken
The Lake Lucerne Institute (LLUI) is an independent, non-profit research and education institute based in Vitznau, Switzerland, committed to developing and implementing technological solutions that improve rehabilitation outcomes and bridge the gap between theory and practice.
- PhD Position Movement Biomarkers in Stroke Recovery
- 100%, Zurich, fixed-term print Drucken
- Your responsibilities will include:
- Upper-limb marker less kinematics (50%) – Contribute to development and validation of multi-view (primary) and monocular (secondary) marker less motion capture pipelines, and a quality assurance framework for kinematic datasets.

- Upper-limb marker less kinematics (50%) – Contribute to development and validation of multi-view (primary) and monocular (secondary) marker less motion capture pipelines, and a quality assurance framework for kinematic datasets.
- Clinical interpretable information (20%) – Assist in translating kinematic outputs into clinician-interpretable formats. Scientific writing and dissemination (20%)
- Synthetic data (10%) – Support generation and implementation of synthetic data. Profile
- We are looking for a motivated and committed candidate who brings: Mandatory skills
- Experience with computer vision for motion analysis
- Master’s degree in Biomechanics, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Vision, Computer Science, Neuroscience, Health Science, Biomedicine, Physio- or Occupational Therapy, or a related field.
- Understanding of study design, scientific methods, and statistical modelling
- Python, C# or equivalent language expertise
- Basic knowledge of machine learning or deep learning Desirable Skills Ex
Application process
- The project encompasses the development of several interlinked applications including an automated motor function interface utilizing marker less 3D motion capture (AxoMotris).
- CEREBRIS offers the opportunity to contribute to an interdisciplinary European research project at the interface of neurorehabilitation, movement analysis, multimodal data, and AI-supported stroke care.
- Within the AxoMotris part of CEREBRIS, the PhD candidate will focus on identifying movement biomarkers relevant to stroke recovery using clinical and sensor-based data.
- The position provides exposure to multimodal clinical and laboratory-based data acquisition, collaboration with computer scientists, engineers, clinicians, and translational researchers across Europe, and insight into how digital health technologies are developed, evaluated, and prepared for clinical translation.
