The Department of Kinesiology at Texas Christian University (TCU) is seeking motivated graduate students interested in studying Biomechanics and Motor Control for our M.S. Kinesiology and Harris College - Health Sciences Ph.D programs. Both multidisciplinary programs prepare students for careers in higher-education and research through dedicated coursework and devoted research development opportunities. Plus, significant collaboration work within and outside of the department allows for diverse research opportunities around practical, clinical, and theoretical applications of movement science.
Current research includes understanding fall risk and mobility factors associated with Parkinson's Disease, implementing virtual environments to enhance postural stability following lower limb injuries, and assessing movement and coordination deficiencies following ACL reconstruction. Our lab uses a variety of biomechanical approaches including the use of nonlinear analyses as well as coordination variability to understand skillful and impaired movement patterns.
At the MS level, we anticipate several graduate assistantships (GA) positions being available. The GA appointments include half-time (~20 hours per week) work responsibilities and carry a waiver of tuition plus a stipend that is guaranteed for two years with appropriate progression. Deadline: February 1.
For the Health Sciences PhD program, applicants will receive tuition waiver and a stipend throughout the three year program. Deadline: February 1.
