    Kinesiology PhD Position in Motor Control/Biomechanics at Michigan State University

    The Motor learning and Rehabilitation Engineering Lab (MOTRE) is looking for outstanding candidates interested in pursuing a PhD in Kinesiology for Fall 2015. The lab is directed by Dr. Rajiv Ranganathan and the focus of the lab is in examining motor learning and multi-joint coordination in the upper-extremity, with an emphasis on stroke rehabilitation. Resources in the lab include an 8-camera motion analysis system (Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, CA), a force plate (AMTI, Watertown, MA) and a bimanual KINARM end point robot (BKIN Technologies, Kingston, ON). Please take a look at the lab website for more information https://sites.google.com/site/motrelab/

    Candidates with a background in motor control and/or biomechanics (Kinesiology, Biomedical engineering, Neuroscience, Psychology or a related field) are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates who have prior experience with collecting and analyzing biomechanical data, and programming skills in MATLAB/Simulink.

    The Department of Kinesiology at Michigan State is one of the top ranked departments in the country (National Academy of Kinesiology, 2010 Review). For more information about applying to the graduate program, please visit http://education.msu.edu/kin/graduat...dadmission.asp

    Interested candidates should submit their application before Dec 1, 2014 to receive full consideration for funding. When applying to the program, also send a copy of your CV/resume and goals statement to Dr. Rajiv Ranganathan (rrangana@msu.edu)
