Funding is available for a graduate student starting in the fall of 2009 at Texas Tech University.
Degree Offered:
MS in Health, Exercise, and Sport Sciences, the specialist area of study would be biomechanics
Responsibilities:
Research assistants are expected to contribute 20 hour per week towards laboratory research.
Current Research:
This position will focus on the effects of strength training on activities of daily living in the elderly
Stipend:
Full Assistantship stipend is $8,600.00 for nine months. Out of state tuition waivers are available.
Qualifications:
For admission of a student into the Biomechanics Program, the main considerations are: (a) the course background of the student (science courses, including physics, mechanics, mathematics, computer science, anatomy, physiology, etc.); (b) the student's mathematics ("quantitative") GRE score, which should be at least in the high 600's. Outstanding students from the biological and engineering sciences are encouraged to apply; (c) strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills are required.
Applications:
Please send a letter of interest, transcript (unofficial copies are fine), cv/resume, a writing sample, and the names and contact information of three references to Domire.Zachary@Mayo.edu.
