    Graduate Research Assistantships

    The Ergonomics Laboratory in The Department of Industrial
    Engineering at North Carolina State University has openings for
    four graduate research assistants for the Fall of 1997. These
    positions are intended for students interested in pursuing either
    a Master's or PhD in the area of occupational biomechanics.
    Funding for these positions comes from both industry and
    government sources and includes both laboratory and industry-
    based research.

    Current research projects include:
    Low Back Injury Prevention in the Construction Industry
    Upper Extremity CTDs in the Furniture Industry
    Office Ergonomics
    An Evaluation of the Psychophysical Methodology
    Effects of Arch Support Orthotics on the Standing Human
    An Evaluation of the Work Practices of Grocery Cashiers
    A Stochastic Model of Trunk Muscle Activation During Lifting
    A Model of Trunk Kinematics During Lifting

    The Department of Industrial Engineering has a strong reputation
    in four areas in industrial engineering: ergonomics, systems
    analysis and optimization (operations research), production and
    manufacturing. It is generally ranked in the top ten industrial
    engineering departments in the United States.
