The Center for Rehabilitation Research in Neurological Conditions (CRRNC) at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is seeking applications for 2 PhD fellowships. Successful applicants will join a highly motivated multidisciplinary team of scientists and research support staff focused on locomotor recovery in individuals following neurological injury or disease. Investigators in the locomotor recovery focus area include clinician scientists, exercise scientists and bioengineers. These researchers include Chris Gregory PhD, PT; Mark Bowden, PhD, PT; Jesse Dean, PhD; and Steve Kautz, PhD. A background in physical therapy, exercise science, biomechanics or engineering is preferred but not required. Funding is available for up to four years, starting August 1st 2014. The Doctoral Program in Health and Rehabilitation Science is designed to position graduates for careers investigating complex health issues and rehabilitation disorders that translate from the laboratory, to clinic, and community.
The CRRNC, located within the College of Health Professions at MUSC, focuses on 1) Evaluation and Treatment and 2) Assessment and Prevention of secondary conditions in individuals following neurological injury or disease. The CRRNC (http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/...ch/centerRRNC/) houses state-of-the-art laboratory facilities to study: Locomotor Energetics & Assessment; Locomotor Rehabilitation; Upper Extremity Function; Brain Stimulation and Communication & Swallowing. Under the umbrella of the CRRNC, scholars push the edges of current knowledge and seek answers to challenging rehabilitation questions, with a primary focus on individuals following stroke or spinal cord injury. CRRNC investigators collaborate openly with other MUSC researchers, including those in Neurology, Neuroscience, Radiology, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy, as well as many clinicians and researchers beyond the campus confines. Our focus, always, is on the patients who will benefit from our work.
The Medical University of South Carolina is located in beautiful and historic Charleston, South Carolina. With a rich 300 year history, Charleston is America's most beautifully preserved architectural and historical treasure and offers a wide variety of history, culture, arts, recreation and beautiful beaches. Charleston has been named both Top U.S. City and Top Destination in the World by Condé Nast Traveler 2012 Readers’ Choice Awards.
