The Neuromuscular Biomechanics and Health Assessment Lab at Ohio University is looking for a PhD student for Fall 2026! This position offers a fully funded tuition waiver and stipend. We are looking for an applicant who is interested in the neural control of movement, concussion, and orthopedic injury.
About our Lab: The overall goal of the Neuromuscular Biomechanics and Health Assessment Laboratory's (NMBHAL) research is focused on identifying mechanisms, risk factors, and preventive solutions for musculoskeletal injury, with an emphasis on the lower extremity.
The neuroimaging research laboratory has an ongoing partnership with a local hospital organization (Holzer) for research access to a 3T MRI for functional neuroimaging studies (Philips Achieva 3 Tesla MRI scanner). Neuroimaging data processing and analysis are available on several high-powered computers with advanced neuroimaging analysis packages, including but not limited to: Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) software, FMRIB Software Library (FSL), and functional connectivity toolbox (CONN).
The biomechanics laboratory comprises over 1500 square feet of state-of-the-art research equipment for testing and screening individuals of all ages and skill levels. This facility is designed for motion analysis of sports and daily activities with 16 cameras and 3 in-ground force plates. It includes a 15'x15' open space with a passive optical motion capture system to allow natural walking, running, and jumping.
The motor control lab is designed for the study of human motion with an 8-camera Theia Markerless kinematic system, BalanceTutor Perturbation Treadmill, Humac Isokinetic Dynamometer, diagnostic ultrasound, and a 16-channel Delsys Trigno wireless EMG system.
Please contact Dr. Melissa Anderson (m.anderson@ohio.edu) for more information.
