We are accepting applications for the 2013 Visiting Scholars Program. The program is a unique experience that fosters expertise and collaborations in biomechanical simulations for rehabilitation research.

Up to four individuals will be chosen to visit the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research at Stanford University for a 10-week period from mid-June to late-August. Each visiting scholar will receive a $15,000 stipend. During their visits, awardees will receive training and mentoring to help them reach their research goals. They will have the opportunity to participate in formal meetings, discussions with OpenSim experts, and brainstorming sessions with their fellow visiting scholars to advance their research and the OpenSim project.

The Visiting Scholars Program is intended for faculty members and postdoctoral fellows with exceptional skills in biomechanics, simulation, and computer science, who will advance the field of movement science through the development of new software, biomechanical models, and outstanding research.

Applications are due on January 25, 2013. You can find out more about the program and download the application materials on our website:
