Sheffield, United Kingdom Sheffield Hallam University Full time

This position is fully funded to work on the Horizon Europe project PRIMI: Performance in Human Robot Interaction via Mental Imagery, led by Professor Alessandro Di Nuovo (scientific coordinator). The project aims to create the next-gen humanoid robots with efficient computation, high cognition and autonomy, by synergistically combining interdisciplinary research development in neurophysiology, psychology, machine intelligence, cognitive mechatronics, neuromorphic engineering, and humanoid robotics. The PRIMI project seeks to create more capable interactive robots with advanced abilities, able to provide innovative and personalised services. Prototypes will be used in stroke rehabilitation studies.

You will also join the Smart Interactive Technologies (SIT) research laboratory; a vibrant interdisciplinary group, led by Prof. Alessandro Di Nuovo, that conducts world-leading research on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. The group is currently running several research projects worth over £2.5 million funding from the European Commission and UKRI.

As a Research Fellow, you will carry out independent research as required by the project, provide leadership, and support the supervision of a PhD student researching on the topics of the PRIMI project.

Under the mentorship of Prof. Di Nuovo, the research fellow will guarantee the delivery of the research objectives, including the day-to-day management and implementation of the research tasks, e.g. design and carry out neuro-robotic experiments, assist with data collection and perform both quantitative and qualitative analysis, develop and maintain open-source software, prepare high-quality scientific outputs, present and organise at international events.

We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.

You will be contractually enrolled into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) - one of the largest and most generous defined benefit pension schemes in the country. Further details on TPS can be found here: New Starter | Teachers' Pensions (teacherspensions.co.uk)

The University may be able to sponsor the employment of international applicants in this role; this will depend on a number of factors specific to the individual applicant.
