Graduate Teaching / Research Assistantship
Applied Neuromechanics Research Laboratory
Department of Kinesiology, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
Applications are invited for a graduate research / teaching assistantship for those interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Applied Neuromechanics through the Department of Kinesiology. This funded position will assist with teaching sports medicine and athletic training related courses in the Department of Kinesiology and assist with ongoing research with a primary focus on lower extremity neuromechanics and injury risk.
The Applied Neuromechanics Research Laboratory provides research opportunities for faculty and graduate students in the masters and doctoral degree programs (http://www.uncg.edu/kin/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 lower extremity function. Ongoing research includes the assessment of neuromuscular and biomechanical function of the lower extremity as a function of multiple contributing factors (e.g. body composition, knee laxity, lower extremity anatomy, fatigue).
Successful candidates should have completed a 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 are preferred (ATC, PT, etc). The comprehensive plan of study will also provide experiences in teaching, mentoring undergraduate research, and grant writing.
Information about the PhD concentration in Applied Neuromechanics, 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/kin/anrl/facilities.html General information and admission requirements for PhD programs in the Kinesiology can be found at http://www.uncg.edu/kin/essappl.html Interested candidates are also asked to forward electronically a letter of interest, curriculum vitae and contact information for 3 references who can speak to the candidate’s academic and research potential directly to Dr. Sandra J. Shultz at the email address below. Applicants are encouraged to complete their graduate school application by January 15th to insure full consideration.
