Stuttgart, Deutschland Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems Vollzeit

The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) conducts research to advance intelligent systems that perceive, learn, and interact. Through fundamental research across computational, physical, and social dimensions, we shape artificial intelligence and robotics to advance knowledge and benefit society.
The, the, and the at the institute’s Stuttgart site are looking for a
Student Assistant (HiWi) M/F/div
to support our collaborative research project on the biomechanics and perception of walking in different shoes.
About the project
This project is aimed at understanding of how people walk in different types of shoes and how others judge walking styles based on specific criteria. We have designed a research study to investigate these two topics. Study participants will be asked to walk in two different pairs of shoes (high heels and comfortable flat shoes) while we collect kinematic, kinetic, and muscle-activation data using motion-capture systems, an instrumented treadmill, and surface electromyography (EMG) sensors. We will separately ask a group of observers to watch short videos of people walking and rate specific walking characteristics. This study provides an opportunity to reshape the conversation around heel-wearing and its broader implications, connecting biomechanical findings to meaningful real-world contexts.
Roles & Responsibilities
The student assistant will support various phases of the study. Core responsibilities may include:
**Possible tasks include**:

- Assisting with motion-camera setup and study preparations
- Helping run walking trials in the lab, including placing reflective markers and EMG sensors on participants
- Supporting survey administration and observer testing sessions
- Assisting with participant recruitment, consenting, and debriefing
- Organizing qualitative responses and observational ratings for later analysis
- Annotating and organizing motion-capture and EMG data

Education & Experience
**Applicants should have**:

- Have high motivation
- Have good oral and written communication skills in English; German language skills would be helpful but are not required
- Be pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree
- Be currently enrolled at a university in Germany
- Want to work in an international and interdisciplinary research environment
- Be able to work on-site at the Max Planck Institute for intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany

**We are especially interested in applicants who have**:

- Experience with wearable sensors (e.g., motion capture, EMG)
- Experience with eye-tracking systems
- Interest in human movement
- Interest in and/or experience with the topics of diversity and inclusion

**Our offer**:
Student assistants without a bachelor degree will be paid €13.80 per hour. Student assistants with a bachelor degree will be paid €14.40 per hour. Working time up to 20 hours per week in lecture period, and up to 39 hours per week in lecture-free period.
**Application**:
To apply, please submit a résumé, a short motivation letter describing why you are interested in this position, and optionally other documentation to demonstrate your background. Please prepare these documents in English and upload them as one PDF file to our.
The posting is open until filled.
