NeuMove Opportunities for Northeastern Students
If you are interested in contributing to research in the NeuMove Lab, we encourage you to reach out early in your time at Northeastern. Research training and meaningful project contributions take time, and we generally prefer students who expect to remain at Northeastern for at least another 1.5 years (the longer, the better).
Students typically begin through one of the two opportunities below. These are designed both to help you explore NeuMove Lab’s research and develop relevant skills, and to help us identify students who may be a good fit for future research involvement.
After reviewing the opportunities below, send your resume and a brief statement of interest to Dr. Song at s.song[at]northeastern.edu. Please indicate which opportunity interests you.
Use a subject line that includes your program and expected graduation year, for example:
NeuMove Application: Undergraduate, Class of 2029NeuMove Application: MS, Expected 2028
Neuromechanical Simulation Track
For students interested in computational modeling, simulation, control, and machine learning.
Students complete a self-paced tutorial curated by NeuMove Lab to introduce the computational tools and methods we use for neuromusculoskeletal simulation and control of human movement.
Students who make strong progress may have opportunities to work with NeuMove graduate students on ongoing research projects.
Motion Analysis Program
For students interested in experimental biomechanics, motion capture, and human movement analysis.
Students complete structured technical training followed by hands-on laboratory sessions covering our motion capture and biomechanical analysis workflow.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a NeuMove Motion Analysis Program Certificate describing the training they completed and may have opportunities to contribute to ongoing research projects.
