Financial support for a PhD thesis student, starting september 97.
Two professors at the University Geriatric Institute of Sherbrooke
University, Quebec, Canada, are offering funding for a PhD program that
will deal with an experimental and theoritical analysis of posture and gait
as applied to an elderly population. The theoritical part will deal with
modeling, the relevant dynamic equations of motion, investigating dynamics
stability concepts, carrying simulations, etc. The experimental back up
investigations will be carried out using the current available lab
intallation and a newly designed posture platform. Students with a good
engineering or physics sciences background would most likely be best
prepared for such a mixed program. The University of Sherbrooke is a french
language institution and graduate courses are normally adressed to a normal
graduate class are given in french. On the other hand, while we expect the
student to eventually communicate in french, it is not a absolute
requirement during the first year.
The funding comes from Canadian granting agencies and priority will be
given to Canadian students, but foreign students applications are
encouraged. You may address initial enquiries through Email or fax to Paul
Bourassa or Francois Prince at 819-829-7149.
