The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) provide funding to promising postdoctoral researchers with a view to develop their academic and transferable skills and enhance their career prospects by moving and working abroad.

By applying with IMT Atlantique you give yourself a chance to join a technological university ranked among the top 500 universities in the world according to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University's 2026 ranking (top 301-400 for Computer Science, top 201-250 for Engineering, top 301-400 for Physical sciences, and the 124th in the 2026 THE Interdisciplinary Science ranking, and top 51-100 for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in the 2025 Shangaï ranking. IMT Atlantique is also awarded with the “Bienvenue en France” label, a recognition delivered by Campus France for our capacity to welcome and host international researchers in the best working conditions.

Topic open:

Robots, as technological artefacts, are subject to constraints related to electrical power supply, computing power and memory, and above all, cost. We will focus on robotic equipment frugality as a way to reduce the cost of a robotic manipulation setup. Our research hypothesis is that we can reduce the quantity of equipment necessary for executing bimanual robotic manipulation tasks, by transforming bimanual movements into monomanual movements through the use of static accessories. The goal is to develop the underlying theory for conversion of bimanual movements to monomanual movements with accessories, and develop the corresponding software implementation.
