Description
The Peter Harrison Centre of Disability Sport (School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences) is offering a UK/EU PhD Scholarship. The project will examine the physiological and hormonal responses during wheelchair exercise in persons with a spinal cord injury to a variety of different exercise strategies. Specifically the project will investigate the role of a warm-up on subsequent exercise capacity. Additionally the project has scope to include work at a rehabilitation level as well as within the sporting context depending on the successful applicant’s knowledge and skill set.
The studentship commences in October 2010 and the successful candidate will hold a 2.1 or first class honours degree in Exercise Physiology or a closely related discipline. Additional previous research experience/clinical experience in the area would be advantageous. Full-time UK/EU PhD scholarships include fees at the 'home/EU' student rate and maintenance (£13,590 in 2010/11) for three years, depending on satisfactory progress.
The project supervisors are Dr Vicky Tolfrey (v.l.tolfrey@lboro.ac.uk) and Dr Lettie Bishop (n.c.bishop@lboro.ac.uk)
For further details regarding the application process, please e-mail Miss Jo Bebb, PG Programme Administrator (J.Bebb@lboro.ac.uk). Curriculum Vitae will only be accepted if accompanied by the completed University application form.
