PhD Openings at University of Pisa / Italian Institute of Technology

*Open Research Positions in Robotics at UniPISA / IIT*

The University of Pisa and the Department of Advanced Robotics of Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genova are jointly opening two positions for international Ph.D. students.

*Position/Theme 1: Analysis, Design and Control of Robots with Variable Compliance*

*Position/Theme 2: Design and Control of Sensorized Robot Hands for Manipulation and Haptic Exploration*

The Ph.D. students will be involved in the research groups of two very active European projects, where Pisa and IIT closely collaborate: VIACTORS
(http://www.viactors.eu/) and HANDS.DVI / THE (http://www.thehande mbodied.eu/), respectively. Their work will be mainly based at IIT's premises in Genova, under the direct supervision of senior research personnel of both institutions.

Candidates are sought who possess a Master's degree in Engineering or Computer Science, with a strong background in Robotics Manipulation, and an interest in undertaking innovative, ambitious, high-risk/high- payoff research enterprises. The cosmopolitan research environment requires mastering the English language in both speaking and writing. Gradually acquiring the basics of the Italian language will make the experience of living in Italy more enjoyable, but is not required.
