Doctoral Student Opportunities
Division of Kinesiology
The University of Michigan
The Division of Kinesiology at The University of Michigan is actively
recruiting doctoral students interested in studying motor control, motor
development, biomechanics, sports medicine, and physical education.
Fellowships and graduate student assistantships are available for highly
qualified students. Specific research interests of faculty are listed
below. More detailed information can be found at the UM Division of
Kinesiology web site (http://www.kines.umich.edu/). Potential applicants
should contact Carrie Braun (clbraun@umich.edu) for assistance with
application procedures. Questions about research topics should be directed
to the relevant faculty member.

UNIVERSITY
As one of the premier public universities in the world, the University of
Michigan boasts a graduate population of approximately 30% of total
enrollment. The University of Michigan awards more than 4,000 graduate
degrees per year across 130+ different fields of study. It is home to a
diverse student body, faculty, and staff. UM was ranked #3 in Research and
Development Expenditures among all U.S. universities in 2004 and #7 in
National Institutes of Health funding in 2005. UM has highly ranked schools
of medicine, engineering, public health, dentistry, law, and business.
LOCATION
Ann Arbor (pop. 112,000) combines the comfort and charm of a small city
with the excitement of a cosmopolitan center. Acknowledged as the center of
the state's booming high technology industry and a cultural mecca as well,
the Ann Arbor landscape is a blend of parks, office buildings, boutiques,
historic preservation areas, shopping malls, bike paths, busy tree-lined
streets, and the open air Farmers' Market. It exerts a charm that has
turned many students to life-long residents or at least regular visitors.
Ann Arbor's extensive parks and recreation facilities provide ample
opportunity for exercise and relaxation. There is sailing, canoeing, and
windsurfing on the Huron River, which flows through the city. The nearby
countryside features lakes, woods and productive farmland, ideal for
bicycle jaunts and picnics. These attributes have led Money Detroit is less
than an hour's drive and an international airport is only 25 minutes away.
Chicago is four hours away by train. More information can be found at
