Join our growing team in the Movement Sciences and Disorders concentration of our Rehabilitation Sciences PhD degree program. Application details can be found at  ECU Graduate School website. Our PhD students are typically funded with a tuition waiver for East Carolina University (ECU). Students work with an interdisciplinary group of physical therapists, engineers, and kinesiologists who study the intersection of biomechanics and motor control through both mechanistic and translational investigations across the lifespan.
