Please see the Announced PhD Assistantship
Graduate Teaching / Research Assistantship
Applied Neuromechanics Research Laboratory
Department of Exercise and Sport Science, University of North Carolina at
Greensboro
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 years of clinical experience is
preferred. The comprehensive plan of study will also provide experiences
in teaching, mentoring undergraduate research, 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.
