Open to PhD candidates, researchers, professionals. With @musclesynergies.bsky.social hands-on!
7-8 Sept 2026
Free, limited seats

We are hiring a POSTDOC on an NIH award to measure inertial effects of (in)active muscle. Please share and re-post widely! Please send expressions of interest to my UML email.
And another new preprint: Aging impairs control of center of mass during repeated visual perturbations in walking

With @yaqili0130.bsky.social @jvandieen.bsky.social and Eugenie Lambrecht
As always: feedback welcome!

There are a couple of weeks left to apply! I just heard that we can also accept PhD students with a suitable background, so extending the call to those as well. #biomech_sky
😃 In a new article published in J Biomech, Zhang et al. show that landing with foot abduction and initial lateral heel contact realigns force vectors, reducing knee joint loading. It promotes a shift from single-joint control to a multi-joint kinetic-chain synergy.

My university is offering scholarships for PhD students to visit Nantes (France) for 3 to 6 months. If you are interested in joining my lab to work on the neural control of the hand during artistic activities and translating these insights into robotic control please do not hesitate to get in touch!
