Graduate Study in Movement / Exercise Science at U. Texas Austin
I anticipate having the opportunity to take on 1 to 2 new doctoral students for Fall, 2012 in my lab. These positions would be funded primarily by TA appointments in the Movement Science / Exercise Science Program in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Texas at Austin. Doctoral degree applicants are preferred, but highly qualified Master's degree students are also strongly encouraged to apply.
Specific areas of on-going work include both basic and clinical/applied research into the biomechanics and control of human locomotion, and computational motor control studies of movement variability. See more detailed descriptions on our lab web site:
http://www.edb.utexas.edu/faculty/dingwell/
And also see more recent publications:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000856
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2010.06.004

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2011.08.001
Additionally, the Department of Kinesiology at UT Austin recently announced an unprecedented expansion of financial support to graduate students over the next several years at least. This new program will provide the department with over $500,000 in new scholarship opportunities to award over the next two years alone. We therefore anticipate the opportunities to provide stipends and funding to be highly competitive.
There are also a number of highly prestigious university-wide Graduate Recruiting Fellowships available to highly qualified applicants:

THE PROGRAM:
More information about the UT Movement Science graduate program and degree requirements, etc. can be found at:
http://www.edb.utexas.edu/mvmtsci/
ADMISSION:
The main considerations for admission to the UT Movement Science Program are:
(a) The course background of the student (science courses, including Physics, Mathematics, Biomechanics, Anatomy & Physiology, Motor Control, etc.);
(b) The student's GRE scores (Verbal scores should be in the 500's or above. Quantitative scores should preferably be in the 600's or above)
(c) The student's record of interest, experience, and academic performance.
Outstanding students from the biological and engineering sciences, and/or applied health sciences (e.g., physical / occupational therapy, etc.) are strongly encouraged to apply.
