Research Assistant Extended Reality for Space Emergency Medicine

Research Assistant Extended Reality for Space Emergency Medicine

UniBE is ambitious. With us, you deliver top performance and test your skills against the best.

Your tasks

• Reviewing research and existing technologies in space emergency medicine, XR-supported care, and human-XR interaction.
• Defining clinical, technical, and human-factor requirements for the HALO-Space system.
• Contributing to the adaptation and further development of the existing HALO-Assist XR platform.
• Supporting the design and implementation of XR guidance and clinical data visualisation.
• Preparing and conducting simulation-based expert evaluations and feasibility studies.
• Analysing usability and human-factor data, including cognitive workload, situational awareness, and interaction issues.
• Collaborating closely with an interdisciplinary team from emergency medicine, biomedical engineering, and space science.

Requirements
