Department of Computer Science and Technology, Bioengineering, Robotics and Systems Engineering – DIBRIS 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 for 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 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. 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 a duration of 2 or 3 years. Selected candidates will receive special support for proposal writing and development. The University of Genoa will organize in May the fifth edition of the Masterclass MSCAUniGe. 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 in May and June 2025 , with the first online training session scheduled for the 8th May 2025. MSCA domain: Information Science and Engineering (ENG) Research Project Description Research concerns intelligent, affective, and social human-machine interaction. Activities address multimodal interactive systems, which can analyze the behavior of their users by capturing and processing data from different sensory channels (e. g. , gesture, facial expression, and speech) and generating multisensory feedback (e. g. , auditory and visual feedback). Research mainly focuses on real-time automated analysis of nonverbal affective and social behavior, particularly full-body movement and social signals in small groups of users. Applications are expected in the areas of education, cultural heritage, rehabilitation, and the performing arts. Research Group Casa Paganini - InfoMus (www.casapaganini. org) conducts scientific research and design, development, and experimentation of multimodal interactive systems. The research addresses computational methods for real-time analysis of nonverbal multimodal expressive and social interaction, focusing on human movement, gesture, and sound (e. g. , music and interactive sonification). Casa Paganini - InfoMus is located in the monumental building of S. Maria delle Grazie La Nuova in the historical center of Genoa. The lab is equipped with a 16-camera Qualysis motion capture system, integrated with other sensor systems (including professional video cameras, microphones, and wearable and physiological sensors) for synchronized recordings of multimodal data. Additionally, the building has a technological infrastructure, including a fast network and audio and video connections. Multichannel audio, video projectors, and Augmented Reality devices are also available. For the 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.
