Graduate Students Wanted!
The Mobility Lab is currently seeking highly motivated doctoral students with an interest in musculoskeletal rehabilitation engineering of those with spinal cord injuries including children and adults across the lifespan. The focus is on biomechanics, computational modeling, and quantitative imaging. Funding is available for these competitive positions on a limited basis. Those with a degree in biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, kinesiology or human movement sciences are encouraged to apply. Applications will be received on a rolling basis until it is filled. Please contact Dr. Slavens at slavens@uwm.edu with a statement of your interests and CV/resume if you are interested in applying for a position.
The doctoral student will have the opportunity to work in a collaborative, research-active, multidisciplinary environment. Individuals with an interest in biomedical engineering, biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, wearable sensors and human movement sciences are encouraged to apply. Qualified candidates must have an undergraduate degree in engineering, kinesiology, or closely related discipline. The research will provide an opportunity to study musculoskeletal biomechanics, human movement of the shoulder/arm, and rehabilitation. Additional work may also include musculoskeletal imaging and wearable sensors. The experience will be tailored to the individual.
