University of Delaware
Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology
Biomechanics and Movements Science Interdisciplinary Program (BIOMS)
Description:
The University of Delaware is seeking one graduate Ph.D. student for the Biomechanics and Movement Science (BIOMS) program (http://www.udel.edu/bioms/) working with the Concussion Research program. The UD concussion research program is part of the NCAA/DoD Grand Alliance CARE Consortium (http://www.careconsortium.net/) and the individual in this position will be extensively involved in the CARE research program. Additionally, there is opportunities to be involved in research studies with the new multimodel imaging center fMRI/DTI studies, HITS football head impact research, aging & concussion research studies, and biomechanics of gait and posture post-concussion research. The concussion research laboratory is well equipped with concussion testing protocols and there are extensive collaborations both on-campus with Biomechanics, Physical Therapy, Engineering as well as off-campus with a Pediatric Hospital, Concussion Clinics, and a wide array of Physicians both locally and nationally. The Concussion Research group includes two faculty members, one post-doctoral researcher, one full-time research coordinator, three Ph.D. students, 7 M.S. students, and multiple undergraduate students.
