The Rehabilitation Biomechanics Laboratory (RBL) within the School of Kinesiology at Auburn University is recruiting highly motivated and diverse doctoral students with a starting date of Fall 2014. These funded positions include research responsibilities of on-going projects within the RBL, focusing on combining aspects of Motor Control Theory, Biomechanics Modeling approach and Imaging technique such as Electroencephalogram (EEG), f-MRI to develop improved treatment interventions for individuals with disability. They may also include teaching within the School of Kinesiology. RBL will provide unique PhD training opportunities to work at multiple disciplinary research environments, which include Auburn University’s new MRI Research Center, the school of Kinesiology’s new Sport Performance and Optimization Center, Department of Industrial Engineering, East Alabama Medical Center, Andrews Research Institute and Division of Rheumatology at University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB). RBL is also heavily involved with neuro- musculoskeletal rehabilitation research initiatives with partnership of Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM Auburn) at Auburn university research park.
