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.

The Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship is one of the funding schemes of the European Commission's Horizon Europe Research & Innovation programme, dedicated to excellent research promoting international mobility, as well as interdisciplinary and intersectoral exchanges.

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-years duration.

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 MSCA@UniGe. Selected candidate researchers will have the opportunity to attend a 2-days 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 and June 2025, with the first online training session scheduled on the 8th May 2025 afternoon.

MSCA domain: Information Science and Engineering (ENG) Research Project Description The recent developments in the field of VR and the new, low-cost, head-mounted displays have opened the way to the new concept of eXtended Reality (XR).

This research aims to improve existing XR techniques, filling the gaps that still hamper XR's adoption in many fields.

The topic will cover the following aspects:

Integration of real and virtual environments to create coherent eXtended Realities, where people could interact with real and virtual objects seamlessly. Integration into XR of perceptual cues different from the visual ones, e. g. , passive haptics, tactile, weights, and temperature. Sensorization of XR and adaptation mechanisms to modulate XR. The applications' contexts could be (depending on the specific project):

Healthcare, with a specific focus on physical and cognitive training. Training and learning, with a specific focus on children and teenagers. Daily support to favor accessibility. Research Group The research will be conducted at the DIBRIS department, Perception & Interaction Lab Research group (PILab).

Established in May 2012, DIBRIS - Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics, and Systems Engineering is a university structure where research and education are based on the areas of Computer Science and Technology, Bioengineering, Robotics, and Systems Engineering.

The Perception & Interaction Lab focuses on the study and computational modeling of human perception, applied to human-computer interaction problems in eXtended Reality.
