Laboratory Coordinator, University of Oregon
The Orthopaedic Biomechanics Lab at the University of Oregon is seeking a full time Laboratory Coordinator. Under the direction of Dr. Andy Karduna, the lab conducts research primarily in the area of upper extremity biomechanics (karduna.uoregon.edu). The principal responsibility of the successful candidate will be the coordination of a recently awarded multi-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). The objective of this project is to study muscle activation in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome as well as the effects of both pain and exercise on these patterns. Fine-wire EMG will be used to examine deficits in activation and motor patterns, while voluntary activation will be used to study problems with central drive.
Basic Qualifications:
