The Activate Fellowship is a two-year fellowship program for scientists and engineers to help turn their technology concepts into a product. For the year 2023, NSF funded 45 startups in the US, one of which was a Purdue student startup. The Fellows would receive a yearly stipend of $80k -$110K along with health insurance, travel allowance, and relocation. Each project would also receive $100k in research funding and will have access to at least $75k in flexible capital. Please find more details here.

The RAAD Lab and the Chan Lab are collaborating on a research study involving exercise-based motor learning and we are seeking participants. The study aims to assess the effects of wearable resistive device on the form of a squat.

The participant will be asked to complete multiple sets of unilateral squats while holding a bar overhead while video recordings, sensor measurements, and form assessment data are collected. Wearable markers will be used with a motion-capture system to collect data.

The participant will be asked to attend 3 sessions over 3 days (1 60-minute, 1 90-minute, and 1 30-minute) and will be given a $25 Amazon gift card for every hour completed.

Selected participants will learn about postdoctoral programs in the Chicagoland area, how to find postdoctoral opportunities, how to apply for postdoctoral positions, and how to maximize your postdoctoral experiences. Following these two days of programming, participants will conduct informational interviews with matched faculty members through November 3rd.
