The Multiscale Modeling Lab in the Department of Biomechanics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha is excited to announce an opening for a Ph.D. position in a research project that explores the coordination of movement to develop innovative rehabilitative interventions for movement disorders. This project will investigate how the body coordinates movement as a whole instead of focusing on individual anatomical parts, which is more critical to healthy movement.
Current approaches to movement rehabilitation typically isolate and treat individual parts of the body, neglecting the critical role of the body's functional integrity. This research project will utilize a customizable life-size Trail Making Test with various tracking and state-of-the-art nonlinear analytical techniques and network analyses to investigate how multiplicative interactions among movement-system components support suprapostural dexterity when maintaining an upright stance the face of postural instability.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in biomechanics, neuroscience, or a related field and a passion for investigating the human body's movement coordination. The Ph.D. candidate will work alongside a team of experienced researchers, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to examine the complexity of movement coordination.
This is an excellent opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research, develop new approaches to movement rehabilitation, and contribute significantly to biomechanics. The Ph.D. position has a competitive stipend, and the National Institutes of Health funds the project.
If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in biomechanics and contributing to innovative research in movement coordination, we invite you to apply for this position.
