If you are interested in expanding your scientific
background and join the multidisciplinary research group of the
Robotics Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department (RBCS) department at
IIT apply to one of the PhD fellowships offered this year.
Since the start of IIT in 2006 at RBCS (www.rbcs.iit.it),
top-level neuroscience research and top-level robotics research is
being merged to seek answers towards some of the long standing open
problems in both fields while offering the possibility to publish in
leading journals in life sciences, cognitive and neural sciences and
robotic engineering.
By
joining RBCS you will become part of a research team composed of
neuroscientists, engineers, psychologists, physicists working together
to investigate brain functions, realize intelligent machines and
advanced rehabilitation devices. At RBCS you will be carrying out your
own research in a stimulating environment while expanding your
scientific background beyond your current expertize.
RBCS
is also the home of the humanoid robot iCub in its dual role of
stimulus for the study of human machine interaction and of tester of
artificial cognitive architecture and developmental robotics.
The
research topics offered by RBCS this year can be selected from those
listed in ANNEX-4 and grouped in five streams (from Theme 1.1 to 1.33):
1. Manual and Postural Action (Themes 1.1 to 1.9)2. Perception during Action (Themes 1.10 to 1.20
3. Interaction With and Between Humans (Themes 1.21 and 1.22)
4. Interfacing with the Human Body (Themes 11.23 to 1.27)
5. Sensorimotor Impairment, rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies (Themes 1.28 to 1.33)
Only the best 15 candidates and their proposed projects will be selected.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS SEPTEMBER 21st
