The posting

Help Shape the Future of Human-Robot Collaboration!

Are you passionate about robotics, human behavior, and emerging technology? Do you enjoy hands-on research, solving technical challenges, and understanding how people interact with intelligent systems?

We are seeking a Research Assistant to join an innovative Human Aware Interaction Learning (HAIL) team focused on advancing how humans and robots interact in real-world environments.

This exciting opportunity combines human-subject research, hands-on robotics, experimental design, and data analysis. You'll work directly with research participants and robotic systems, including mobile robots, robotic arms, and four-legged robots, to help develop safer, smarter, and more intuitive human-robot interactions.

If you thrive in a collaborative research environment and enjoy a mix of technical problem-solving, participant interaction, and analytical work, we'd love to hear from you!

What You'll Do

Lead and Support Human-Robot Research Studies

  • Assist in designing, preparing, and executing in-person human-robot interaction experiments.
  • Conduct user studies in office, laboratory, and field environments.
  • Coordinate study schedules, participant recruitment, research materials, and daily logistics.
  • Develop research protocols, questionnaires, interviews, and experimental materials.
  • Create research stimuli, including videos, animations, and physical mockups.

Work Hands-On with Robotics & Technology

  • Set up and operate robotic systems during live research studies.
  • Support experiments involving mobile robots, robotic arms, and other robotic platforms.
  • Troubleshoot technical issues independently to keep experiments running smoothly.
  • Adapt quickly to unexpected challenges in dynamic research environments.

Engage with Research Participants

  • Guide participants through experiments, surveys, and interviews.
  • Create a welcoming, comfortable, and professional research experience.
  • Communicate clearly with participants from diverse backgrounds, including older adults.
  • Ensure research protocols are followed while maintaining accurate study documentation.

Analyze Data & Deliver Insights

  • Collect, organize, and analyze quantitative research data using Python, R, SPSS, or similar tools.
  • Identify patterns, interpret findings, and help translate research results into actionable insights.
  • Support qualitative data coding and categorization.
  • Conduct literature reviews and contribute to research reports.
  • Maintain organized research records, datasets, and study documentation.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Human Factors, Human-Robot Interaction, Cognitive Science, Psychology, Robotics, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Hands-on experience participating in or conducting at least one in-person human-subject research study, including academic research, an honors thesis, a master's thesis, or professional research.
  • Experience collecting, managing, or analyzing quantitative research data.
  • Proficiency with Python or experience using another analytical programming language, such as R or SPSS, with a willingness to learn Python.
  • Experience working in an academic research or laboratory environment.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, and participant-facing skills.
  • Ability to troubleshoot technical equipment or systems independently during live experiments.
  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple research activities.

What Will Make You Stand Out

  • Previous experience working with robotic systems, mobile robots, robotic arms, quadruped robots, or autonomous platforms.
  • Experience conducting human-robot interaction or human factors research.
  • Familiarity with survey design, experimental randomization, and survey logic.
  • Experience analyzing qualitative research data, including coding and identifying themes.
  • Strong Python skills for statistical analysis and research reporting.
  • Experience supporting research involving older adult participants.
  • A friendly, empathetic, patient, and adaptable approach to working with people.
  • Confidence troubleshooting technical challenges in real time.
