About this position

PhD position available for Fall 2027 in the UNC Applied Biomechanics Laboratory at the Lampe Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The project is focused on resistive ankle exoskeleton technology and healthy aging, with support from a new NIH-funded grant.

The student will study whether wearable devices designed to challenge, rather than assist, the muscles used for walking can help older adults preserve muscle strength, power, and walking function. Training will include wearable exoskeleton technology, gait biomechanics, ultrasound imaging, and clinical trial management.

This opportunity is part of a collaborative, multi-site research team and includes partnership with Dr. Zachary Lerner at Northern Arizona University. The lab is embedded in the UNC/NC State Lampe Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, offering a highly collaborative environment across engineering, medicine, and the health sciences, with state-of-the-art facilities for biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering research.

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree and possibly a master's degree in biomedical engineering, biomechanics, mechanical engineering, human movement science, or a related field. Previous research experience and a clear motivation for pursuing a PhD are emphasized.

Interested students should explore the lab website, attend the virtual laboratory open house if possible, and follow the PhD program application instructions under “APPLY NOW UNC.” Applications are for the Fall 2027 admission cycle.

Funding details

The PhD student is described as fully NIH-funded. The project is supported by a new NIH grant.

What's required

Applicants should have completed an undergraduate degree and potentially a master's degree in biomedical engineering, biomechanics, mechanical engineering, human movement science, or a related field. Previous research experience is expected, along with a well-articulated motivation for pursuing a PhD. Interest in wearable exoskeleton technology, gait biomechanics, ultrasound imaging, and clinical trial management is relevant.

How to apply

Review the UNC Applied Biomechanics Laboratory website and the PhD program application instructions. Follow the program’s “APPLY NOW UNC” instructions for the Fall 2027 admission cycle. Prospective students can also register for the virtual laboratory open house to learn more.
