About this position

Politecnico di Milano is recruiting for a research contract in the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering within the scientific area of bioengineering. The project, titled “Agentic EEG Interfaces for Screen-Independent Assistive Communication in ALS”, focuses on developing a non-invasive EEG-based communication system for people with ALS who have difficulty speaking, moving, or using eye-tracking tools.

The research is centered on imagined speech and on identifying communication intent from a personalized vocabulary of around 20 essential expressions. The successful candidate will work on methods for detecting and classifying EEG signals, exploring low-channel EEG configurations, faster calibration procedures, signal-quality effects, and performance across repeated sessions, without developing new hardware.

A key feature of the project is the integration of a constrained AI assistant that handles uncertainty, requests confirmation, offers alternatives, and transmits only confirmed messages, keeping the user in control. The expected outcome is a research prototype together with validated benchmarks and design/performance requirements for future studies involving people with ALS.

The contract is based in the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano and is linked to the funded project reference TEF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.

Funding details

Funded project reference: TEF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Total annual cost to the University is €66,000, including employer charges.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD degree or an equivalent qualification obtained abroad and recognized by the committee, or for relevant disciplines a medical specialization degree. Candidates enrolled in the final year of a PhD program or the final year of a medical specialization program may also apply if they obtain the degree within six months of publication of the call. The required working language is English. Up to 3 publications may be submitted; a scientific/professional CV, research proposal, and identity document are required. Non-EU applicants must provide valid residence-permit or visa documentation as applicable.

How to apply
