Interested in getting involved in GNRL research?
Prospective graduate students
The GNRL is actively recruiting PhD students. Current projects involve computational modeling of gait dynamics following neurological injury and neurodegeneration. Prospective students should have a background in engineering or a biomechanics-related field and should be interested in mathematical modeling of complex biological systems.
Applicants should apply through to the UVM BME PhD program or the Complex Systems and Data Science PhD program. Students applying to the BME PhD program will be encouraged to complete the Certificate in Graduate Studies in Complex Systems.
Eligible PhD students are expected to apply to external fellowships (e.g., NSF GRFP; NDSEG). Contact Dr. Rosenberg if you are applying to UVM and have questions about this process.
If are interested in joining the lab as an MS or PhD, you should contact Dr. Rosenberg to discuss potential projects before submitting your application.
Undergraduate Students
The GNRL is looking for undergraduate students to support experimental and computational projects.
If interested in joining the lab, you should email Dr. Rosenberg with your CV, as well as a description of which projects in the lab you are most interested in and why.
To refine your interests in the lab’s research, I highly recommend reading the abstracts of the lab’s papers HERE. Feel free to look at the figures to get a better understanding of our findings. However, the abstract should be sufficient to convey the most important ideas from our work.
Students at all level are encouraged to apply. To maximize the benefit of research to job / graduate program applications, Seniors should apply at the start of their final year.
Successful undergraduate researchers are typically highly motivated, curious, independent, and critical thinkers. You should be comfortable or open to learning to tackle open-ended (and sometimes ambiguous!) challenges. To be successful in undergraduate research, you should be ready to commit roughly 10 hours per week of research. The first semester in the lab is a probationary period to assess your fit and interest in the lab.
Successful undergraduate students may be eligible for funding through the lab or CEMS REU funds.
The beautiful part about research is that you can dive as deep into the material as you want! I will support you in driving your project as far as you want.
