PhD positions are available within the Department of Biomedical Engineering or the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio in the area of experimental impact biomechanics research focusing on material system design and injury protection technologies. The PhD student will be working as part of a team exploring various aspects of both impact biomechanics, sensors, and injury protection design.

Two PhD positions are available within the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio for Summer/Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 in the area of impact biomechanics research focused on computational modeling, traumatic brain injury and injury protection technologies.

The overall goals of these positions, are to 1) integrate computational and experimental techniques to unfold mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 2) develop new generation of injury protection devices.
