The types of Membership in the Society are: Regular, Student, Emeritus, and Commercial.
The criteria for REGULAR Membership in the Society are 1) expertise in the field of biomechanics (i.e., publication of scientific articles) and 2) contributions to the Society (e.g., attendance at biomechanics conferences). In addition to the specific information requested in the Membership Application Form, please provide a list of not more than ten of the most recent refereed scientific papers, abstracts, and book chapters in your area of interest. Professional employment history should also be documented by briefly listing relevant employment history. Applicants are also asked to list the most recent annual meetings of the American Society of Biomechanics attended. Recent graduates (be sure to provide date of degree) and applicants outside North America will be given special consideration.
Student applicants use the same process. Students may list courses or special projects (titles only) related to biomechanics in lieu of publications. Research assistantships and other related experiences may be listed under employment history. Attendance at the annual meeting of the American Society of Biomechanics is not required for Student Members, but related conferences attended may be listed.
