Current Opportunities
Undergraduate Research Opportunities in the PRISM Lab
Research in the PRISM Lab (Pain Rehabilitation Integrative Science and Mechanisms Laboratory) aims to better understand contributors to chronic pain, including pain sensitization, psychological and behavioral factors, autonomic dysregulation, and social determinants of health, and to develop mechanism-based rehabilitation interventions. Current projects include clinical trials of nonpharmacological interventions, such as vagus nerve stimulation and exercise, for individuals with knee pain or chronic low back pain.
Undergraduate researchers will receive dedicated, hands-on training and close, ongoing mentorship. Students will have opportunities to gain guided experience across the research process, including participant recruitment, intervention delivery, data collection, and dissemination, with responsibilities tailored to their training, interests, and progress.
Preferred Qualifications
- Genuine interest in and strong motivation for clinical pain research
- Strong interpersonal skills
- Reliability and timely communication
Students are generally expected to commit approximately 10 hours per week for at least 2 years. Opportunities may be available for voluntary research experience, Federal Work-Study, or salary/stipend, depending on student eligibility, funding availability, and applicable approval or hiring processes.
Application Materials
- A current résumé or CV
- A brief statement of approximately two paragraphs describing:
- Why you are interested in chronic pain research
- What you hope to learn or gain from the experience and how it relates to your academic or career goals
- Any prior research experience, if applicable
Please email the application materials to Kosaku.Aoyagi@osumc.edu.
