All available positions at our research lab related to Bionic and PlayBionic projects are listed here and linked to their respective announcements. If you’re interested in joining our team, we welcome you to submit an application.
Master’s Theses, Internships & Lab Rotations
We regularly offer opportunities for master’s theses, research internships, and lab rotations, even when no formal positions are advertised.
International students may also have the opportunity to undertake an Erasmus+ funded research traineeship at the hospital, BG Klinikum Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, which serves as the non-academic industry partner and host institution. Such placements are subject to eligibility and institutional approval through the student’s home university.
If you are interested, please contact Dr. Cosima Prahm with your CV and a letter of motivation, indicating your previous experience, research interests and preferred timeframe. Research opportunities may be available at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin in collaboration with BG Klinikum Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin (ukb), as well as at the University of Tübingen.
Our research areas include:
- Bionic limb reconstruction and prosthetic technology (e.g. Osseointegration, Targeted Muscle Reinnervation)
- Pain and neuromodulation strategies (e.g. Phantom Limb Pain, neuropathic pain, CRPS)
- Virtual and mixed reality for rehabilitation
- Technical and surgical Improvement of Human Machine Interfaces for prosthetic control
- Neural interfacing and physiology (e.g. sEMG, iEMG, EEG, fMRI, AI)
- Machine learning applications and kinematics (e.g. upper and lower limb amputees, spinal cord injuries)
- Development of innovative assessment and diagnostic tools for clinical practice
- User-centered and psychosocial approaches (e.g. participatory development, patient-centered innovation, and body image adaptation)
