Description - Call for Expression of Interest for a joint application under the upcoming Call for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026

University of Genoa, UNIGE, located in Genoa, ITALY, welcomes postdoctoral researchers of any nationality, with an excellent track record, to apply to the European Commission Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026. Our University has been beneficiary of several MSCA-PF in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe.

The Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship is one of funding scheme of the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Research & Innovation programme, dedicated to excellent research promoting international mobility, as well as interdisciplinary and intersect oral exchanges.

MSCA fellowship grant provides a competitive salary plus mobility and family allowances if applicable, as well as a contribution to cover research, training and networking costs. The research projects will have 2- or 3-years duration.

Selected candidates will be provided with special support for proposal writing and development
.

The University of Genoa will organize in May the fifth edition of the Masterclass MSCA@Uni Ge.Selected candidate researchers will have the opportunity to attend a 2-days online intensive training and coaching course on how to write a successful proposal.This masterclass is a pathway of support to candidates and their supervisors in preparing project proposal, includingprescreening activity of the draft proposals and the organisation of dedicated B2B meetings, by the European Research Office of Uni Ge, National Contact Point and other experts.

The masterclass will take place in Spring
2026

MSCA domain: Mathematics (MAT);

Information Science and Engineering (ENG)

In my unit I develop advanced image reconstruction procedures integrating theoretically grounded large-scale optimisation algorithms and deep learning strategies for several applied fields. The main one of interest is the one of computational microscopy, with a focus on fluorescence microscopy. Potential other fields of application are medical imaging (tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography..) and scientific imaging in applied domains (e.g., lifetime imaging for the study of material degradation/stability in material science).

The candidate will carry out his/her research activity within the Computational Imaging and Learning (CIL) unit of the Machine Learning Genoa Center (MaLGa), an interdepartmental centre between the departments of Mathematics, Computer Science and Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the University of Genoa, a vibrant environment involving 16 PIs, and 40 post-docs and PhD students organised around 5 research units ranging from statistical learning, harmonic analysis, optimisation for image reconstruction, computer vision and physical models for turbulence analysis.

The CIL research unit has several national and international collaborations with prestigious research centres, such as: the Italian Institute of Technology, the French CNRS and Inria institutes and many more.

An expression of interest shall be sent to prof. Luca Calatroni (luca.calatroni) within 15th April 2026.

Your file should contain the following elements:

For MSCA-PF 26 call (opening foreseen on 10th April 2026), at the deadline for the submission of proposals (9th September 2026) postdoctoral candidates shall have a maximum of 8 years of postdoctoral research experience and must not have resided or carried out their main activities in Italy (for European Fellowship) or in the Third Country of the outgoing phase (for Global Fellowship) for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the above mentioned deadline.
