Doctoral Funding on Human Locomotion with Robotic Exoskeletons
Human Neuromechanics Laboratory, School of Kinesiology, University of Michigan
The Human Neuromechanics Laboratory at the University of Michigan is actively seeking a new doctoral student in Kinesiology to study the biomechanics of human locomotion with robotic exoskeletons. The student would work under the supervision of Prof. Dan Ferris, Ph.D. Applicants should have a master’s or bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, exercise science, biomedical engineering, or mechanical engineering. Previous biomechanics research experience is highly desirable. The student will need to gain admittance to the University of Michigan Kinesiology doctoral program, and would be fully funded as a Graduate Student Instructor and/or Graduate Student Research Assistant. Assistance with the Kinesiology doctoral student application process is available by contacting Charlene Ruloff (cruloff@umich.edu). Information about the Kinesiology Ph.D. program can be found at:http://www.kines.umich.edu/graduate-admissions, including a video describing the doctoral program. Information about the Rehabilitation Robotics Group at the University of Michigan is available at:http://rehabrobotics.umich.edu/.
As one of the premier public universities in the world, the University of Michigan awards more than 4,000 graduate degrees per year across 130+ different fields of study. It is home to a diverse student body, faculty, and staff. UM was ranked #2 in research expenditures among all U.S. universities and has highly ranked schools of medicine, engineering, public health, dentistry, law, and business. The Kinesiology doctoral program ranked #6 in the country according to the National Academy of Kinesiology 2010 review of doctoral programs.
Ann Arbor (pop. 112,000) combines the comfort and charm of a small city with the excitement of a cosmopolitan center. Acknowledged as the center of the state's booming high technology industry and a cultural mecca as well, the Ann Arbor landscape is a blend of parks, office buildings, boutiques, historic preservation areas, shopping malls, bike paths, busy tree-lined streets, and the open air Farmers' Market. It exerts a charm that has turned many students to life-long residents or at least regular visitors. Ann Arbor's extensive parks and recreation facilities provide ample opportunity for exercise and relaxation.
