About this position
Sainan Zhang is recruiting a fully funded PhD student to join a research group at Kennesaw State University in Fall 2027. The opportunity centers on wearable and assistive robotics, with research connecting control, hardware, sensing, and human–robot interaction.
The lab designs, builds, and tests real robotic systems, including wearable robots, actuators, and sensor-based platforms. Experimental development is supported by modeling and simulation, allowing researchers to investigate robotic system behavior from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
Potential research directions include modeling and simulation, learning-based methods, control and robotics, hardware design and experimental testing, and human–robot interaction. The position may suit students who enjoy hands-on system development and want to combine computational methods with building and evaluating physical robotic platforms.
The group welcomes applicants from varied backgrounds and emphasizes technical foundations, curiosity, and the motivation to develop expertise in a relevant research area.
Funding details
The PhD position is fully funded. No stipend amount or additional details about tuition coverage are provided.
What's required
Applicants should have a strong technical foundation, curiosity, and interest in developing expertise in one or more of modeling and simulation, learning-based methods, control and robotics, hardware design and experimental testing, or human–robot interaction. Applicants do not need experience in every area typically listed for robotics positions. A CV, research statement explaining fit and motivation, transcripts, and publications should be submitted; a short video demo, website, or other project materials demonstrating hands-on skills are helpful but not required.
How to apply
Email your CV, research statement, transcripts, and publications to [email protected]. Optionally include a short video demo, website, or other materials showing project experience or hands-on skills.
