The Biomechatronics Laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Northern Arizona University has funded openings for doctoral students interested in pursuing a PhD in Bioengineering or Mechanical Engineering. Dissertation projects will support our research on wearable robotics for gait rehabilitation and mobility assistance in individuals with disabilities; areas of emphasis include mechanical design, intelligent control systems, and clinical interventions.
Successful applicants will receive a minimum of a $20k base stipend plus competitive summer salary, tuition remission, and health insurance. Outstanding students may be eligible to receive the competitive Presidential Fellowship, which will result in an additional $8,000/year plus $1,000/year for conference travel or research.
Successful applicants will have a master’s or bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, or biomedical engineering. Prior biomechanics, design, and programming experience is desired.
Send your CV and research interests to Zach Lerner, PhD (Zachary.lerner@nau.edu). Funded campus visits are currently available.
