Kinesiology/Biomechanics
The primary responsibilities of the Kinesiology/Biomechanics Fellow are as follows:
- Teaching the undergraduate Kinesiology/Biomechanics laboratory sections (4 sections of
20 students maximum). Each lab section is 110 minutes. Specific duties include
instructing biomechanical assessments including gait analysis, vertical jump testing,
goniometry, resistance profiles, etc. The Fellow will be responsible for grading laboratory
reports for each topic. - Work with the supervising faculty member to develop and refine laboratory content
including laboratory experiences/activities, developing grading rubrics, and creating
laboratory questions and quizzes. - Hold regular office hours to support student learning by providing feedback and tutoring
for laboratory and lecture aspects of the course.
Secondary responsibilities of the Kinesiology/Biomechanics Fellow may include the following:
- Administrative tasks, including management of the laboratory course electronic platform
(Brightspace) sections. This may involve posting of laboratory activity materials,
assignments, online quiz management, and recording grades. Please note that these tasks
cannot constitute the majority of the responsibilities of the fellow (generally not to

research, such as subject recruitment/scheduling, data collection, entry, and analysis,
scientific writing, and possible presentation.
