TWO GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP POSITIONS IN BIOMECHANICS
HPER BIOMECHANICS LAB
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AT OMAHA
************************************************** *********
The HPER Biomechanics/Anatomy Laboratory at the University of Nebraska at Omaha
has two graduate assistantship positions available for the Fall of 2001.
Students in the program have a variety of backgrounds including bioengineering,
physical therapy, physical education, biology, exercise science, and
mathematics.
DEGREE OFFERED
Master of Science with a major in Exercise Science (emphasis in Biomechanics)
RESPONSIBILITIES
Duties include data collection for research, laboratory maintenance, calibration
of equipment, assisting (teaching laboratories and partially grading) in classes
such as Advanced Biomechanics, Biomechanics, and Physiology and Anatomy.
Research projects can range from laboratory funded projects to academic research
pursuits.
Specific works include evaluation of performance and human interaction with
exercise equipment
and a variety of projects related to gait, injury mechanisms, and basic lower
extremity function.
STIPEND
$8,800 for academic year plus tuition waiver
ACADEMIC ADVISOR AND DIRECTOR OF THE BIOMECHANICS/ANATOMY LABORATORY
Nick Stergiou, Ph.D.
Dr. Nick Stergiou is a biomechanist and an Assistant Professor in the School of
HPER at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He received his Ph.D. in
biomechanics from The University of Oregon in 1995. Dr. Stergiou received his
undergraduate degree in physical education from The Aristotle University,
Thessaloniki, Greece in 1989 and his master's degree in exercise science from
The University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1991.
LABORATORY FACILITIES
The biomechanics laboratory is equipped with a force plate, a high speed video
system, digitizing stations, transducers (e.g. accelerometers), electromyography
and analysis software. The HPER Biomechanics Laboratory is housed in the state
of the art HPER instructional facility which also includes: Motor Learning Lab,
Exercise Physiology Lab, a 12 stations Computer Lab, Large Activity Areas and
Courts, and a 50 meter pool. Our collaborative work with the Departments of
Orthopedic Biomechanics and Physical Therapy of the Universities of Nebraska and
Creighton Medical Centers (both just a 5 minute drive), and the newly developed
Institute of Engineering and Technology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha,
also provides an extended laboratory environment for research related
activities.
APPLICATIONS
Applications must be received by February 1, 2001. For further information,
including application forms, for both admission to graduate study and an
assistantship contact:
