Graduate Program in Movement Science at The University of Michigan
The Department of Movement Science at The University of Michigan has
recently expanded their faculty and is actively recruiting students to join
their graduate program. Recent additions to the department faculty include
three new asistant professors in exercise physiology and biomechanics.
Expansion of the department also includes substantial laboratory
renovations and additions providing state of the art research facilities
for faculty and students. Fellowships, graduate student assistantships,
and research appointments are available for highly qualified students.
Potential applicants should contact Carrie Stein, Student Services
Associate at steinc@umich.edu or (734) 764-1343.
Specific research interests of the Movement Science faculty are listed
below. Several members within the department focus on motor learning and
control using neurophysiology, biomechanics, and dynamic systems theory
perspectives. More detailed information can be found at the UM Division of
Kinesiology web site (http://www.umich.edu/~divkines/kinweb/index.html).
