Graduate Research Assistantship in Biomechanics and Energetics of Human Locomotion
Locomotion Research Group, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
We are recruiting a doctoral student in Kinesiology for Fall 2012 to work on projects related to the biomechanics and energetics of human locomotion. The position is funded in part by a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation on the evolution of bipedalism, and will involve a combination of experimental and modeling work. Ideal candidates will have some prior training in functional anatomy/morphology, musculoskeletal modeling, computer simulation, and experimental lab procedures (e.g., motion capture, force recording, EMG), as well as a natural curiosity about biological systems and how they work.
The deadline for applying to the UMass Kinesiology doctoral program is February 1, 2012. More information about the doctoral program can be found at:
