Project Coordinator
Apply now Job no: 503750
Work type: Full-Time
Location: University City - Philadelphia, PA
Categories: Drexel University, College of Nursing and Health Professions
Job Summary
We are seeking a Project Coordinator who will play a crucial role in supporting the operations and initiatives of the CDMRP Dept of Defense Spinal Cord Injury Research Program funded research project “Improving Cardiometabolic Health in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury Using Home-Based Interactive Virtual Gaming”.
Research Program Overview
Physical/physiological changes following spinal cord injury (SCI) and barriers to physical activity place individuals with SCI at increased risk for chronic diseases exacerbated by physical inactivity and deconditioning. Physical activity, and exercise as a subset, can ameliorate these risks; however, individuals with SCI rank among the lowest on the physical activity and physical fitness spectrums. An urgent need therefore exists to address traditional barriers to exercise and facilitate meaningful exercise experiences for individuals with SCI. Although the potential utility of home-based VR gaming in SCI has been acknowledged, there has yet to be a platform informed specifically by the needs and interests of individuals with SCI. Further, while laboratory-based studies have supported the exercise potency for VR gaming in SCI, a home-based platform has yet to be developed. The current project seeks to address these major gaps in the field by refining and testing an interactive, immersive VR exercise platform (VR-Move) informed by the physical needs, preferences, and expertise of end users (i.e., Lived Experience Consultants - individuals with SCI) and SCI specific experts, who can address crucial barriers to SCI exercise engagement, and who can implement VR interventions within individuals’ homes as a resource for promoting physical activity.
The position is funded for 3- years with a 12-month appointment for two years then 9-month appointment in the final year.
Essential Functions
This position is classified as exempt, grade I. Compensation for this grade ranges from $41,120 - $61,680. Please note that the offered rate for this position typically aligns with the minimum to midrange of this grade, but it can vary based on the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience, department budget, and an internal equity review.
We encourage you to explore Drexel's Professional Staff salary structure and Compensation Guidelines & Policies for more details on our compensation framework.
