We foster excellence in both fundamental and applied research, spanning fields such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and material sciences, offering a truly interdisciplinary scientific experience. Our approach integrates cutting-edge tools and technology, empowering researchers to push the limits of knowledge and innovation. With us, your curiosity will know no bounds.We are dedicated to providing equal employment opportunities and fostering diversity in all its forms, creating an inclusive environment. We value the unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives of our people. By embracing diversity, we believe science can achieve its fullest potential.THE ROLEYou will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where junior and senior scientists collaborate, each with their expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.The Soft BioRobotics Perception (SBRP) Research Unit, led by Lucia Beccai, develops technologies that endow soft robots with embodied perception. Its research aims to enable robots to perceive their environment through touch and interact with the physical world intelligently, ultimately supporting people in real-world applications.
To this end, the laboratory designs innovative soft systems for grasping and manipulation that combine bioinspired morphologies, architected structures, and monolithic designs in which mechanical sensing and actuation are intrinsically integrated into the robot body. xysqume Within the research team, your main responsibilities will be:Kinematic modelling and analysis (of soft robots and subsystems)Design, simulation and testing of architected continuum manipulatorsESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTSA PhD in mechanical engineering or similar disciplinesDocumented experience in:Modeling of soft robotsComputer-aided designArchitected structures with programmable mechanical propertiesDesign and optimization of integrated soft systemsTendon-driven soft robots and fluidic soft robotsStrong publication recordGood command of spoken and written EnglishADDITIONAL SKILLSExperience in:Soft grasping systems and/or sensorized soft systems: on any aspect of design, fabrication, assembling, validation etc.3D printing fabrication methods (FDM, SLA, SLS, etc.)Knowledge of:Elephant trunk anatomy and behaviourBioinspired system design approachAbility to work in a challenging and international environmentCapacity to work autonomously and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environmentPossess analytical reasoning skills and a growth mindsetCOMPENSATION PACKAGEA yearly gross salary from 30.000,00 to 38.000,00 euroCandidates from abroad or Italian citizens who have carried scientific research activity permanently abroad and meet specific requirements, may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years.Application’s deadline: October 24th, 2026To discover more about life at IIT, visit the dedicated section here: J-18808-Ljbffr
