Graduate Assistantships
Pursue your degree while working in a state-of-the-art research facility with almost 60,000 square feet dedicated to research in biomechanics!
We offer both a Master of Science and a PhD. Current research faculty 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, computational modeling, 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, and many others.
Qualified applicants must meet admission requirements for the desired degree program and be admitted into the program before being eligible for an assistantship.
