From matteobianchi23 at gmail.com Wed Aug 24 18:55:36 2022 From: matteobianchi23 at gmail.com (Matteo Bianchi) Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2022 18:55:36 +0200 Subject: [I-RIM Soci] [jobs] Expression of Interest (EoI) for multiple Post Doc positions in robotics, haptics and bioengineering at the University of Pisa Message-ID: The *Research Center in Robotics and Bioengineering "Enrico Piaggio" and the Department of Information Engineering DII* of the University of Pisa are seeking for expressions of interest (EoI) for multiple Post Doc positions in the following areas:* 1)* *rehabilitation and assistive robotics*, with a special focus on the design and control of robotic devices and interfaces targeting the support for, and the recovery of, the sensory-motor functions of human upper limb in pathological conditions *2) wearable haptics *in multiple domains of advanced human-machine interaction, which include cobotics, ergonomics enhancement, augmented and virtual reality, telerobotics and surgical robotics, blind people mobility assistance; *3) tactile sensing and active sensing techniques* for autonomous robotic manipulation and shared-control bilateral teleoperation, with special focus on medical applications. The candidate should ideally have a PhD in robotics or bioengineering (although not mandatory) and a strong interest in scientific research in haptics, robotics and bioengineering, scientific curiosity, large autonomy and ability to work independently. This call is a preliminary stage aimed to collect EoI, and it is not a formal opening for positions. On the basis of the collected EoIs, we will decide whether or not to open a position. Post-Doc positions in Italy can only be awarded through a public competition. We will contact the selected applicants to inform about the formal opening of the positions and the related procedure. For additional information, contact Prof. Matteo Bianchi [matteobianchi23 at gmail.com]. *About the University of Pisa, the Research Center in Robotics and Bioengineering "Enrico Piaggio" and the Department of Information Engineering DII * *The University of Pisa (UNIPI)*, founded in 1343, is among the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe, with alumni such as Galilei, Volterra and Fermi. The *"Enrico Piaggio" Research Centre*, founded in 1962, organizes interdisciplinary research among engineering, medicine, and biological scientists towards applications in Bioengineering and Robotics. The "Enrico Piaggio" Research Centre has long standing experience in managing contracts with international, EU, and industrial partners. The Robotics group focuses on robotics and embodied intelligence. The group is among the originators of the modern approach to physical human-robot interaction, with a particular attention to the study of compliant actuators, hands and haptics, human tactual perception and the relationship between perceptual illusions in the visual and tactile domains. The *Department of Information Engineering (DII)* is an Excellence Center for Research and Higher Education in the field of Information and CommunicationTechnology (ICT), Robotics and Bioengineering It runs an intense activity in Higher Education for about 4000 students and 200 PhD students. In 2018 DII was selected by the Italian Minister of Education as "Department of Excellence" with the project CrossLab, aiming to support the revolution of Industry 4.0 in Italy by creating interdisciplinary research labs -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
