Marie-Skłodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship at Halmstad University

Halmstad University welcomes researchers who are interested in joining us as a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow!

The Marie-Skłodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) is a post-doctoral research and training programme in which the post-doc (fellow) gains additional skills and abilities working on a specific research project in a new environment, while also transferring their knowledge within their new institution. Open to all fields of research, the fellowship is a well-defined, 2-year-career stage.

In addition to carrying out the research project, the fellow will participate in training and career development activities, which are an integral part of the programme, and he/she can include secondments at other research facilities, companies, or public sector organisations.

The proposal writing process is a joint undertaking by the applicant and the supervisor/the host organisation. If your MSCA-PF project with Halmstad University is granted, you are expected to move to Sweden and work at the premises of our University.

If you intend to apply for the postdoctoral fellowship programme and if you have identified either a research group that you want to become part of or an individual researcher you would like to apply with, please get in contact with Meike Froitzheim to ensure that you take advantage of the support services offered at the University to help you prepare a successful proposal.

Expression of interest: Biometrics Recognition

Would you be interested in spending 1–2 years as a postdoc on a research project of your choice in a small but ambitious research environment in southwest Sweden? The School of Information Technology at Halmstad University invites one candidate of any nationality to develop a collaborative MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship application within the European Commission’s Horizon Europe program.

With international reputation and relevant contributions, Halmstad University is one of the pioneers of biometric research in Sweden, and the most active group in the field. The two seniors, Professor Josef Bigun and Dr. Fernando Alonso Fernandez, have jointly +40 years of experience in the field. Much of our research in this area is collaborative, due to substantial funding attracted across the years from Swedish financiers (VR, Vinnova, KKS), EU, industry, and government agencies. Our rich network worldwide is also result of joint publications, guest visits, conference organisation, committees, invited keynotes, editorial appointments and boards, panels, awards, and distinctions. A (non-exhaustive) list of research topics where we have been active recently include:

  • fingerprints (latent fingerprints, quality analysis, minutiae detection, feature extraction)
  • iris (segmentation, feature extraction)
  • periocular (eye detection, feature extraction, cross-spectral recognition)
  • face (detection, tracking, feature extraction)
  • lip-motion for liveness and identity (detection, tracking, feature extraction)
  • soft-biometrics
  • super-resolution reconstruction
  • multi-biometrics

More information about this call can be found on the European Union’s website.
