Call for Marie Sklodowska Curie ITN fellows funded by the ANIMATAS project 

ANIMATAS (MSCA – ITN – 2017 - 765955 2) is a H2020 Marie Sklodowska Curie European Training Network funded by Horizon 2020 (the European Union’s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation), coordinated by Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, France)

ANIMATAS will establish a leading European Training Network (ETN) devoted to the development of a new generation of creative and critical research leaders and innovators who have a skill-set tailored for the creation of social capabilities necessary for realising step changes in the development of intuitive human-machine interaction (HMI) in educational settings.

ANIMATAS partners are: UPMC (coord.), Uppsala Univ., Institut Mines Telecom, KTH, EPFL, INESC-ID, Jacobs Univ. and SoftBank Robotics Europe.

15 early-stage researchers (ESR) positions of 36 months are available within ANIMATAS. The successful candidates will participate in the network’s training activities offered by the European academic and industrial participating teams. The successful candidate will be offer the opportunity to work with Interactive Robotics, Furhat Robotics, Mobsya, University of Wisconsin- Madison,  University of Southern California, Immersion SAS, IDMind, Trinity College Dublin.
