Join Us
We welcome graduate students, postdocs, and summer students who are excited about pediatric imaging, biomechanics, computation, and bone health.
General Inquiries
We always consider inquiries from prospective graduate and undergraduate students. Explore our research, including clinical projects and preclinical projects, to learn about our work and identify areas that interest you.
We especially encourage applicants from engineering, computer science, biological sciences, biomedical sciences, and biomechanics backgrounds to get in touch.
What to Include in Your Inquiry
Email Dr. Danielle Whittier at danielle.whittier@ucalgary.ca with:
- Your CV or resume
- An unofficial transcript
- A short description of your research interests
- Whether you are most interested in computational, imaging, clinical, or experimental work
- Whether you are seeking a graduate or undergraduate opportunity, and your preferred start date
What We Value
- Curiosity about pediatric musculoskeletal health
- Interest in collaborative, interdisciplinary research
- Experience or enthusiasm in imaging, data analysis, biology, engineering, or biomechanics
Volunteering
We don’t normally accept volunteers directly in our lab. Instead, we direct volunteer inquiries to our research partners who rely on volunteers. We currently collaborate with PEMRAP and encourage interested students to learn about the program and apply.
