MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship: Apply with IMT Atlantique and join us!

Thinking about your next career step and willing to boost your career? Looking to experience intersectoral, interdisciplinary and international research? Wishing to carry out your research in a place addressing industrial, environmental, societal and digital transitions as a priority challenge?

Then apply for a Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship with IMT Atlantique as host institution!

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 400 universities in the world (Top 201-250 for Computer Science, Top 251-301 for Engineering, Top 401-500 for Physical sciences (THE ranking), Top 101-150 for Management (Shangaï ranking)) and 65th to the THE Impact Rankings (2024). 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:

Functional Capacity Evaluation evaluates the aptitude of a human worker to perform the tasks related to a specific job. Today, a standard medical examination done by an occupational doctor includes (1) an interview to identify the movements performed within a specific job and the corresponding articulations employed, (2) an observation of the worker’s body movements which specifically focus on the articulations employed by the worker in his job, and (3) a report on the pain felt by the worker during movement. Surprisingly, standardization and automation of such examinations is currently absent. We have developed an automated system for automatic functional capacity evaluation, based on computer vision and machine learning techniques, that evaluates video recordings of human movements providing them with a normalized score of functional capacity. However, we lack objective information about the worker’s sources of pain.

The scientific question that we want to address is how to integrate pain perception into an automatic functional capacity evaluation system? Specifically, how can we use thermal cameras to identify inflammation as a source of pain?

Keywords: Computer Vision, Thermal camera, Human movement quality assessment, Functional Capacity Evaluation
