Description

Project: HAPTIC - Electrophysiological and multimodal assessment of developmental trajectory of multisensory integration in typical and impaired humans during haptic experiments

Commitment & contract: 1+1 years (fixed-term contract)

Location: Genova, via Enrico Melen 83

WHO WE ARE

At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US. We promote excellence in basic and applied research such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, nanotechnology, materials for a truly multidisciplinary scientific experience.

YOUR TEAM

You will be working within the Unit For Visually Impaired People (UVIP) Research Line, a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group led by Dr. Monica Gori, who has extensive experience in the field of psychophysics for multisensory processing, and that has been working for over twenty years on the perceptual and motor correlates of many pathologies, among which blindness, deafness, dyslexia, psychiatric disorders, multiple sclerosis, in childhood and adulthood. The unit is multidisciplinary at its very roots, comprising both neuroscience-oriented and technology-oriented profiles. The post-doc will interact with an interdisciplinary team composed of a neurophysiology expert, a technician programming virtual reality settings, and a statistics expert.

THE PROJECT

The research project will investigate multisensory perception during development considering different sensory modalities such as vision, audition and touch/haptics. The selected candidate will be required to program haptic devices and to run haptic/multisensory psychophysical experiments. He/She will interact with an interdisciplinary team composed of a neurophysiology expert, a technician programming virtual reality settings, and a statistics expert. 

WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SHINE

It will be required a PhD in neuroscience, (bio)engineering, neurobiology, (neuro)psychology or related areas with a strong background/experience in haptics experiments. Knowledge of programming haptic devices/interfaces, creating perceptual experiments, analyzing and possibly modeling data. Knowledge of one or more of the following: neurophysiology, programming of virtual reality settings, statistics. Experience in programming in languages for haptic interfaces, e.g. MATLAB, Python C/C++, python and possibly Unity. Good knowledge of written and spoken English.

EXTRA AWESOME

Good communication skills. Strong problem solving attitude. High motivation to learn. Spirit of innovation and creativity. Good in time and priority management. Ability to work in a challenging and international environment. Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Competitive salary package for international standards. Wide range of staff discounts.
