A PhD student position is available, starting September 2015, in the Biomechanics and Movement Science Lab within the Rehabilitation Science Program at Drexel University (Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science). The focus of the lab is to understand kinematic and kinetic patterns underlying movement coordination in the upper-extremity, with an emphasis on both orthopedic and neurological health conditions. Graduate assistantship with funding for students for up to two years (annual stipend and tuition assistance) is available.
The successful candidate will participate in research activities investigating 1) rehabilitation biomechanics primarily of upper extremity function with an emphasis on scapular mechanics as a contribution to movement patterns as well as reaching mechanics in person with chronic neuromuscular conditions. 2) Identification and treatment of underlying neuromusculoskeletal factors associated with rotator cuff disease.
The Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science has over 9,000 square feet of dedicated research space.
