Technologist position for the Human–Robot Interaction and Ergonomic Systems (EPIC) Location: IIT CRIS, Via San Quirico 19D, Genova, Italy
Contract: Technologist level 1, 5 years (until the end of the project 14/5/2031)
Role Overview You will work in a multidisciplinary group supporting IIT research activity. The Human‑Robot Interfaces and Interaction (HRI²) research unit focuses on developing intelligent robots that enable natural, human‑in‑command interactions. The EPIC project aims to redefine mind‑body ergonomics through robot‑assisted approaches to mitigate occupational risks and enhance well‑being. This position focuses on scientific coordination, technological development, and supervision with an emphasis on translating research outcomes into deployable solutions.
Responsibilities
- Lead and coordinate technical activities related to cognitive and physical ergonomics assessment, including sensing, data acquisition, and analysis pipelines.
- Supervise the development and integration of experimental platforms involving wearable devices, vision‑based systems,



and collaborative robots.
- Contribute to the formulation and validation of models linking cognitive load, motor behavior, and physical interaction, including information‑theoretic approaches.
- Support the design and implementation of adaptive human‑robot interaction strategies, including co‑evolutionary paradigms and model predictive control frameworks.
- Provide scientific and technical supervision to junior researchers, PhD students, and technical staff.
- Drive technology transfer and innovation activities, facilitating translation of research results into industry‑relevant solutions, prototypes, and demonstrators.
- Collaborate with academic and industrial partners, contributing to project reporting, dissemination, and exploitation activities.
- Support experimental campaigns, data validation, and performance benchmarking in real‑world or industrially relevant scenarios.
