Ph.D. and M.S. assistantships are available starting Fall 2025 at East Carolina University
We have begun reviewing applications, but anticipate having remaining positions, particularly at the MS level. Additionally, a pending grant may open up 2 more Ph.D. positions.
Degree Offered:
Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and Exercise Science with a concentration in Biomechanics and Motor Control Or Master of Science in Kinesiology with a concentration in Biomechanics and Motor Control
Responsibilities:
Typically, our Ph.D. assistantships are research based and require 20 hour per week towards laboratory research. Our M.S. assistantships are typically TA positions and expect 20 hour per week towards teaching and laboratory research.
Each student in the Biomechanics and Motor Control Concentration works with a primary faculty mentor but also has opportunities to work with other biomechanics/ motor control researchers in kinesiology, physical therapy, athletic training, and engineering. There are presently 10 M.S. and 5 Ph.D. students in the program.
Minimum Qualifications:
1. A baccalaureate degree in a related field from an institution accredited by a regional association.
2. A grade point average of 2.5 or greater on a 4.0 scale on all undergraduate work or a grade point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale in either the undergraduate major work or work taken during the senior year.
3. Students, whose first language is not English, must receive an acceptable score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
4. Applications are welcome from students with diverse academic backgrounds. However, students whose undergraduate preparation lacks essential prerequisite coursework or whose baccalaureate degree is in a non-related field may have additional requirements.
