The Department of Biomechanics and the Center for Research in Human Movement Variability at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) have multiple available graduate assistantship positions for the 2022-2023 academic year. Start dates could be either August 2022 or January 2023.
We offer both a Master of Science in Biomechanics and a PhD in Biomechanics and Kinesiology. There are currently 17 research faculty who specialize in a range of topics in biomechanics including motor learning and control, nonlinear dynamics, human and animal movement variability, aging, prosthetic and assistive device development, cardiovascular biomechanics, biomaterials, exoskeletons, exosuits, bioinspired robotics, rehabilitative biomechanics in patient populations, such as stroke, peripheral arterial disease, Parkinson’s disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Total Knee Arthroplasty, diabetes, cerebral palsy, and many others. Our students work in a state-of-the-art research facility with almost 60,000 square feet dedicated to research in biomechanics. To learn more about us, please visit our website: cehhs.unomaha.edu/biomechanics.
Qualified applicants must meet admission requirements for the desired degree program and be admitted into the program before being eligible for an assistantship. Degree program admission criteria and requirements can be found on our website: Biomechanics Graduate Programs
