PhD and Postdoctoral Positions in Assistive and Lower-Limb Robotics at Friedrich-Alexander University Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany

The Assistive Intelligent Robotics (AIROB) Lab at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, is seeking motivated researchers for two open positions: a Doctoral Candidate (PhD) in Lower-Limb Prosthesis and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Assistive Robotics. The AIROB Lab is dedicated to advancing intelligent robotic systems that support individuals with mobility challenges and improve rehabilitation outcomes. Research at the lab is highly interdisciplinary, combining robotics, human-centered technology, and rehabilitation engineering.

Applicants for the PhD position should hold a relevant master's degree, while postdoctoral candidates must have completed a PhD in a related field. A strong technical background in robotics, prosthetics, intelligent systems, or rehabilitation engineering is essential. The lab values candidates who are motivated to contribute to cutting-edge research in assistive robotics and who are eager to work in a collaborative, innovative environment.

While the announcement does not specify funding details, candidates are encouraged to consult the official calls for comprehensive information regarding financial support, stipends, and other benefits. The application deadline for both positions is March 16, 2026. Interested applicants should visit the AIROB Lab website to download the official calls and follow the provided instructions for submitting their applications.

Key research areas include assistive robotics, lower-limb prosthesis, human-centered technology, and rehabilitation engineering. The AIROB Lab offers a dynamic research environment within one of Germany's leading universities, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and professional growth.
