  • Post-Doctoral Position in Achilles Tendinopathy Outcomes and Rehabilitation Research

    The Tendon Research Group (PI: Karin Grävare Silbernagel) at the University of Delaware, Department of Physical Therapy, is seeking a post-doctoral researcher to work on an NIH funded study. The study is a longitudinal study investigating outcomes in individuals with Achilles tendinopathy treated with a standardized rehabilitation protocol. The successful candidate will be engaged in recruiting and evaluating participants, maintaining a REDCap database, ensuring data quality and study protocol compliance, analyzing data, and disseminating study results. In addition to their role on this specific project, the successful candidate will be expected to take a mentorship role for PhD student-led projects and pursue personal projects in-line with the development of their own research interests. There is also opportunity for teaching and grant writing experience. The preferable start date is the Spring of 2019.

    The Tendon Research Lab is a multidisciplinary lab group dedicated to advancing the understanding of tendon injuries and repair so that tailored treatments can be developed. This is an active lab group comprised of clinicians, researchers, PhD students, and undergraduate students with a variety of backgrounds – including physical therapy, biomechanics, athletic training, and biomedical engineering.
