ESR 3 has been re-opened. New deadline: 7th of March.
The ATLAS consortium is recruiting for a range of posts related to intraluminal surgery.
ATLAS is a Marie Curie ITN-EJD Project (Innovative Training Network – European Joint Doctorate, GA No 813782) that targets the training of
experts in a very specific branch of Robotic Surgery. Within this scheme, 15 Ph.D. positions are funded.
The Consortium is formed by
– KU Leuven – Belgium
– TU Delft – The Netherlands
– Université de Strasbourg – France
– Politecnico di Milano – Italy
– Università di Verona – Italy
– Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna – Italy (Pisa)
– Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – Spain (Barcellona)
Upon successful completion, each Ph.D. candidate will be awarded a double Ph.D. degree.
Successful candidates will advance the state of the art in the following fields:
– lumen reconstruction and lumen modelling,
– sensor technology for intraluminal perception,
– actuation technology for continuum robots, and
– distributed control and decision making for autonomous continuum robots.
More information on single post and on how to apply can be found at https://atlas-itn.eu/ .
