New York University The Graduate Program of Ergonomics and Biomechanics (ERBI) emphasizes musculoskeletal ergonomics, occupational biomechanics, risk identification, risk management and disability prevention. Both Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered to those qualified students who seek an advanced understanding of the theory and application of the disciplines of ergonomics and biomechanics. The primary objective of the program is to prepare students for professional careers, or academic and research careers. The curriculum balances theoretical, practical, and research skills coursework. The multidisciplinary faculty with backgrounds in ergonomics, human factors, biomechanics, physical sciences, engineering, medicine, health psychology, and epidemiology support this curriculum. Students attracted to the ERBI program come from varied backgrounds such as medicine, physical and occupational therapy, occupational health, environmental health, allied health, basic medical sciences, basic sciences, engineering, safety and health, industrial hygiene, osteopathy, orthopaedic surgery, epidemiology, anthropology, psychology, physics and kinesiology. ERBI students acquire the skills needed to apply immediate practical solutions for the assessment, prevention and management of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. July 1, 2005, the NYU Graduate Program of Ergonomics and Biomechanics became a member of the NY/NJ Occupational Safety & Health Education and Research Center (OSHERC) funded by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC ). This is the only graduate program of its kind offered on the East Coast. Contact: Ali Sheikhzadeh - 212-255-6690
