    Announcing 2 assistantships for PhD at the University of North Carolina at
    Greensboro
    1.Ph.D. in Sports Medicine: Clinical Research Assistantship
    2.Graduate Teaching / Research Assistantship Applied Neuromechanics
    Research Laboratory


    1. Ph.D. in Sports Medicine: Clinical Research Assistantship
    Applications are invited for a clinical / research assistantship for
    students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Sports Medicine through the
    Department of Exercise and Sport Science. Primary responsibilities of this
    assistantship are split between providing clinical athletic training
    services to student-dancers in the Department of Dance, and assisting with
    ongoing laboratory research related to lower extremity injury risk.
    Individuals who are BOC Certified Athletic Trainers with a background in
    kinesiology, biomechanics, motor control, or related fields are invited to
    apply.
    This position compliments the broad research agenda within the Applied
    Neuromechanics Research Laboratory related to gender, injury risk, and
    neuromuscular and biomechanical control of joint stability. Ongoing
    research includes the influence of gender, hormones, fatigue and lower
    extremity alignment on knee joint function, landing mechanics, and motor
    control strategies. Opportunities also exist for collaboration with other
    clinicians and researchers across disciplines through the School?s Center
    for Women?s Health and Wellness.
    Successful candidates should have completed their masters degree in an
    appropriate field of study, have the clinical expertise and interest to
    work independently in providing athletic training services to
    student-dancers within the department of dance for 10 hours/week, have
    research interests within the breadth of the laboratory research agenda,
    and be highly motivated to develop their independent research, writing,
    and presentation skills. The comprehensive plan of study will also
    provide experiences in teaching, student mentoring, and grant writing.
    For more information about the PhD Specialization in Sports Medicine,
    please visit. http://www.uncg.edu/ess/anrl/index.html. Information
    available at this site includes the Ph.D. program of study, faculty and
    student bios and research interests, the laboratory research agenda, as
    well as recent publications and on-going projects. General information
    and admission requirements for PhD programs in the Department of Exercise
    and Sport Science can be found at http://www.uncg.edu/ess/TBL-CONT.html.
    Interested candidates are also asked to forward a letter of interest,
    curriculum vitae and 3 letters of references (supporting both the
    candidate?s clinical experience and academic potential) directly to the
    address below. Review of complete applications will begin early January.

    2. Graduate Teaching / Research Assistantship Applied Neuromechanics
    Research Laboratory
    Applications are invited for a graduate research / teaching assistantship
    for students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Sports Medicine through the
    Department of Exercise and Sport Science. This funded position will assist
    with teaching in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science and assist
    with ongoing research related to gender dependent risk factors in knee
    stability and anterior cruciate ligament injury risk. Individuals with a
    background in kinesiology, biomechanics, motor control, or related fields
    are invited to apply.

    The Applied Neuromechanics Research Laboratory provides research
    opportunities for faculty and graduate students in the masters and
    doctoral degree programs in Athletic Training, Sports Medicine and Motor
    Control (http://www.uncg.edu/ess/anrl/). The laboratory includes state of
    the art instrumentation for assessment of human neuromuscular performance,
    as well as kinematic and kinetic analyses. These measurement tools are
    interfaced with a variety of custom devices for analyzing knee joint
    function in response to sudden loading. Ongoing research includes the
    assessment of neuromuscular and biomechanical function of the knee as a
    function of gender, hormones, lower extremity alignment, and fatigue.
    Opportunities also exist for collaboration with clinicians and researchers
    across disciplines through the School?s Center for Women?s Health and
    Wellness (http://www.uncg.edu/hhp/cwhw/).

    Successful candidates should have completed their masters degree in an
    appropriate field of study, have the clinical expertise and research
    interests within the breadth of the laboratory research agenda, and be
    highly motivated to develop their independent research, writing, and
    presentation skills. Candidates with 3-5 of clinical experience preferred.
    The comprehensive plan of study will also provide experiences in
    teaching, student mentoring, and grant writing.

    Information about the PhD Specialization in Sports Medicine, including the
    Ph.D. program of study, faculty bios, laboratory facilities, recent
    publications and on-going projects can be found at
    http://www.uncg.edu/ess/anrl/index.html. General information and admission
    requirements for PhD programs in the Exercise and Sport Science can be
    found at http://www.uncg.edu/ess/TBL-CONT.html. Interested candidates are
    also asked to forward a letter of interest, curriculum vitae and 3 letters
    of references (supporting the candidates academic and research potential)
    directly to Dr. Sandra J. Shultz at the address below. Review of complete
    applications will begin February 1st.
