Department of Mechanical, Energy, Management, and Transportation Engineering (DIME) Call for Expression of Interest for a joint application under the upcoming Call for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 The University of Genoa, UNIGE, located in Genoa, ITALY, welcomes postdoctoral researchers of any nationality, with an excellent track record, to apply to the European Commission Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025.

Our University has been a beneficiary of several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.

The MSCA fellowship grant provides a competitive salary plus mobility and family allowances if applicable, as well as a contribution to cover research, training, and networking costs.

The research projects will have 2- or 3-year durations.

Selected candidates will be provided with special support for proposal writing and development.

The University of Genoa will organize in May the fifth edition of the Masterclass.

Selected candidate researchers will have the opportunity to attend a 2-day online intensive training and coaching course on how to write a successful proposal.

This masterclass is a pathway of support to candidates and their supervisors in preparing project proposals, including prescreening activity of the draft proposals and the organization of dedicated B2B meetings, by the European Research Office of UniGe, National Contact Point, and other experts.

The masterclass will take place on May/June 2025.

MSCA domain: Information Science and Engineering (ENG) Research Project Description The primary thematic areas for which I am seeking applications include:

Bioengineering – Focused on studying prosthetic comfort, including biomechanical analysis, user experience evaluation, and optimization of design parameters to enhance functionality and adaptability for amputees.

Mechanical Engineering – Emphasizing the design and development of prosthetic components using non-conventional, sustainable materials such as bamboo and Paulownia wood.

This includes material characterization, structural analysis, and innovative manufacturing techniques to improve performance and affordability.

Generative Machine Learning for Biomechanical Design – Applying advanced AI techniques to develop customized prosthetic designs based on the specific anatomical and functional needs of individual amputees.

This involves data-driven modeling, predictive optimization, and automated design workflows to enhance prosthetic personalization and performance.

Applicants with expertise in one or more of these areas are encouraged to apply, especially those interested in interdisciplinary research that bridges engineering, AI, and biomechanics.

Research Group The candidate fellow will be involved in the MMA group activities about the design, validation, and prototyping of an innovative low-cost and eco-friendly prosthesis.

The group works using the mechanical department facilities.

DIME builds upon a long-standing tradition in industrial engineering, acting as a bridge between the needs of businesses and society and the opportunities brought by technological advancements.

The department is characterized by a strong multidisciplinary approach in the fields of Energy Engineering, Management Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Applied Mathematical Models.

Application An expression of interest shall be sent to Prof. Mattia Frascio ( , Orcid ID: 0000-0001-7069-6726) by 5th May 2025.

Your file should contain the following elements:

For MSCA-PF 25 call (opening foreseen on 9th April 2025), at the deadline for the submission of proposals (10th September 2025), postdoctoral candidates shall have a maximum of 8 years of postdoctoral research experience and must not have resided or carried out their main activities in Italy (for European Fellowship) or in the Third Country of the outgoing phase (for Global Fellowship) for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the abovementioned deadline.
