The Medical Microrobotics Lab at the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, led by Dr. Veronica Iacovacci, is seeking two postdoctoral fellows to join the team in the framework of the ERC-Stg project I-BOT. The two Post-Doc will work on the design, development, and control of novel microrobots intended for medical applications. We offer a competitive salary which can be negotiated based on applicants’ background and seniority. The position will begin in January/February 2025. Apply by sending your CV and references to veronica.iacovacci(at)santannapisa.it. More info.
The registration is open for the 2025 GRC on Complex Active and Adaptive Material Systems to be held January 26 – 31, 2025 at the Ventura Beach Marriott, California. For more information and registration, see. There will be an associated two-day GRS for early-career researchers on January 25 – 26, 2025, which will involve talks and mentorship. Four talks selected from the GRS will be invited to present at the GRC. This year’s theme is Materializing Sense-Assess-Response Dynamics.
The Materials Innovation Lab at the University of Texas at Austin, led by Prof. D. Emma Fan, is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join our team.
