Doctoral Research Assistantship Available
Motor Development
A research assistantship is available for a student interested in pursuing a
Ph.D. in motor development or, motor development/adapted physical
activity. The assistantship involves participation in federally funded
research with infants, focusing on a) investigating the fit between dynamic
systems theory and change in patterns of motor behavior and b) factors
that relate to the delayed development of infants with Down syndrome.
During the next three years our primary focus will be on a study of the
effects of treadmill practice on the onset of walking and quality of walking
patterns in infants with Down syndrome.
Preference will be given to applicants with a background in motor
development, child development, or biomechanics. This research
assistantship pays between $7,000 and $8,000 plus a waiver of tuition for
30 credit hours of graduate work annually. The position will remain open
until a qualified candidate is found. The assistantship will begin in late
August of 1995. A letter of application, vita, copies of academic
transcripts, and the names and addresses of three references should be
sent to:
Dr. Beverly Ulrich
Department of Kinesiology
Indiana University
Bloomington, IN 47405
E-mail: ulrichb@ucs.indiana.edu
In the past few years the number of faculty at Indiana University who share a
common interest in behavioral change has increased significantly. Along with
faculty in Kinesiology, researchers in Psychology, Speech and Hearing
Sciences, Computer Science, and Neuroscience form a vibrant community of
supportive and collaborative scientists. Many multidisciplinary seminars and
research projects are ongoing, providing students with rich opportunities to
broaden their knowledge and research skills. Among this group are
Dr. Jeff Alberts, Developmental Psychobiology
Dr. Steve Barlow, Motor Control/Development of Speech
Dr. Geoffrey Bingham, Event Perception & Action
Dr. David Gallahue, Applied Aspects of Motor Development
Dr. Robert Port, Linguistics and Computer Science
Dr. Linda Smith, Cognitive Development
Dr. Esther Thelen, Infant Motor Development
Dr. Beverly Ulrich, Motor Development
Dr. Dale Ulrich, Adapted Physical Activity
