M.S. assistantships are available starting in the fall of 2013 at East Carolina University.
Degree Offered:
Master of Science in Kinesiology with a Biomechanics concentration
Responsibilities:
Teaching assistants are expected to contribute 20 hour per week towards teaching and laboratory research.
Laboratory Faculty Members:
Associate Professor Zachary Domire, Ph.D.
Biomechanics Laboratory
332A Ward Sports Medicine Building
(252) 737 - 4564
domirez@ecu.edu
Dr. Domire completed his graduate training at The Pennsylvania State University and post graduate training at The Mayo Clinic. He has published research on musculoskeletal simulation, orthopedics, and magnetic resonance elastography. His current research interests include: examining the effects of age related changes in muscle material properties on muscle function, improving musculoskeletal simulations, and prevention of ACL injuries.
Professor Paul DeVita, Ph.D.
Biomechanics Laboratory
332B Ward Sports Medicine Building
(252) 737 - 4563
devitap@ecu.edu
Dr. DeVita investigates the biomechanics and motor control of human locomotion and is presently working in the areas of knee osteoarthritis, aging, obesity, and locomotion in healthy people. Dr. DeVita is a member of the American and International Societies of Biomechanics the American College of Sports Medicine, and the National Academy of Kinesiology. He has graduated many M.S. students and helped them attain positions in industry and academia.
Qualifications:
1. A baccalaureate degree in a related field from an institution accredited by a regional association.
2. A grade point average of 2.5 or greater on a 4.0 scale on all undergraduate work or a grade point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale in either the undergraduate major work or work taken during the senior year.
3. Satisfactory scores on either the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Miller Analogy Test (MAT). Generally minimum requirements are a combined score (i.e., verbal and quantitative) of around 300 (1000 by the old scoring system) on the GRE or a score of 35 or above on the MAT.
4. Students, whose first language is not English, must receive an acceptable score on the Test of English As A Foreign Language (TOEFL).
5. Students whose undergraduate preparation lacks essential prerequisite coursework or whose baccalaureate degree is in a non-related field may have additional requirements.
Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills are required.
Applications:
Please send a letter of interest, transcript, cv/resume, a writing sample, GRE scores, and the names and contact information of two references to domirez@ecu.edu

Letters of interest should be received as soon as possible. We will continue our search until suitable candidates are found.
About ECU and Greenville:
East Carolina University was founded in 1907 and is home to nearly 28,000 students. The University is one of the largest in the University of North Carolina system and is rapidly growing. It has been the fastest growing campus in the system for six consecutive years.
The Department of Kinesiology at East Carolina has over 100 graduate students. The National Academy of Kinesiology’s 2010 Review and Evaluation of Doctoral Programs ranked East Carolina’s Bioenergetics and Exercise Science Program in the top ten in the nation.
Greenville is located half way between Raleigh NC and the Atlantic coast.
The city of Greenville has a population of approximately 85,000 people. Greenville has a relatively mild climate (average summer temperature - 84oF; average winter temperature - 44o F) and will experience all four seasons. Greenville has a cost of living approximately 10% lower than the US average.
