Ph.D. assistantships in Kinesiology and Rehabilitation in the School of Rehabilitation Sciences,
Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, USA
Applications are being accepted for Ph.D. assistantships in Kinesiology and Rehabilitation at Old Dominion University (ODU), Norfolk, VA for fall 2021. Graduate research assistantships for qualified candidates are also available. The deadline for applications is February 10th, 2022.
There are two Ph.D. research opportunities. One will focus on the control of balance and walking for older adults and clinical populations, with specific focus as to the impact changes in these motor functions has for falls. The second opportunity concerns the mechanisms underlying the generation of physiological tremor. A particular focus will be on how tremor changes with increasing age and the development of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. Potential candidates with backgrounds in motor control, biomechanics, neuroscience and/or neurophysiology are encouraged to apply.
The Ph.D. in Kinesiology and Rehabilitation at ODU is designed for a broad range of students including those with a kinesiology/exercise science background as well as rehabilitation professionals (i.e., athletic trainers, occupational therapists, physical therapists or speech/language pathologists) who are interested in becoming leaders, teachers and scholars in their respective fields. This inter-professional program features faculty from the College of Health Sciences and the College of Education. The curriculum's core has a broad focus on neurophysiology, motor control and motor learning.

Further information about the facilities, research areas and faculty can be found at: https://www.odu.edu/rehabsci/research
Highly motivated students who are interested in developing their research skills and understanding of movement control and biomechanics in healthy, aging and patient populations are encouraged to apply. Applicants are encouraged to discuss their application with individual faculty members in their area of interest.
