About this position

PhD Student and Research Assistant Opportunities at Rutgers University–New Brunswick

Mélanie Henry, Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, is seeking motivated students to join her research group. The lab studies the neural mechanisms underlying mobility deficits and develops symptom-based interventions for people living with multiple sclerosis.

The research program combines human neurophysiology, motor control, and translational approaches to understand how changes in the nervous system contribute to mobility impairments. Graduate students starting in Fall 2027 will develop and lead research projects in the lab, with opportunities to work with techniques such as EEG, EMG, TMS, and spinal reflex measures. There is also an opportunity to contribute to an NMSS-funded clinical trial focused on improving foot drop in people with multiple sclerosis.

Applicants with a background in kinesiology or biomedical engineering are especially encouraged to apply. Prior experience with EEG, EMG, TMS, or spinal reflex measures is welcome but not required.

The post also invites undergraduate students for Spring 2027 research assistant opportunities. Undergraduates will contribute to ongoing projects and gain hands-on experience with participant testing, data collection, processing, and analysis in people with multiple sclerosis.

To apply, email a CV and a brief statement describing your research interests and why you want to join the lab to [email protected]. Graduate applicants should also include academic transcripts.

Funding details

Graduate students will join the lab as PhD students and may contribute to an NMSS-funded clinical trial aimed at improving foot drop in people with multiple sclerosis. The post does not specify stipend, tuition coverage, or other financial details.

What's required

Motivated graduate or undergraduate students interested in human neurophysiology, motor control, and rehabilitation. Graduate applicants for Fall 2027 should have a background in kinesiology or biomedical engineering; experience with EEG, EMG, TMS, or spinal reflex measures is welcome but not required. Undergraduate applicants for Spring 2027 should be interested in research experience and hands-on participant testing, data collection, processing, and analysis in people with multiple sclerosis. Graduate applicants must also provide academic transcripts.

How to apply

Email the requested materials to [email protected]. Send a CV and a brief statement of research interests and motivation; graduate applicants must also include academic transcripts. Share the post with interested students or colleagues if appropriate.
