Funded PhD positions in Kinesiology are available for Fall 2021 in the Motor Neuroscience Lab (MNL) directed by Dr. Florian Kagerer. I am are primarily (but not exclusively) interested in upper limb adaptive motor control and brain-behavior relationship; the lab has well-established collaborations with the Departments of Psychology, Engineering, Neurology, and the Neuroscience Program. Please take a look at the lab website for more information http://education.msu.edu/kin/mnl/
Candidates with a background in human movement, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, psychology, physiology, or a related field are strongly encouraged to apply. Prior research experience with human subjects, and scientific writing are highly desirable; some programming knowledge (e.g., Matlab, Python, R) is a plus.
Resources in the MNL include motion recording systems (joysticks, digitizing tablet, bimanual Kinarm endpoint robot, 8-camera motion analysis system), portable and stationary AMTI force plates, a wireless Delsys EMG system, a BrainVision 32-channel EEG system, and two Magstim transcranial magnetic stimulators (TMS).
The Department of Kinesiology at Michigan State is one of the top ranked departments in the country, and PhD students will receive excellent mentoring. For more information about applying to the graduate program, please visit http://education.msu.edu/kin/graduat...dadmission.asp
If you are interested and would like additional information, please email Dr. Florian Kagerer (fkagerer@msu.edu) with: (i) a statement of interest that explains your research interests and skills, and (ii) your CV. Deadline for early applications is October 15, 2020; selected candidates will be invited to a virtual lab & campus tour in November.
