Department Summary

The College of Health and Public Service (HPS) at the University of North Texas prepares graduates to address diverse and complex social issues such as aging, disability, disaster management and recovery, criminal justice, health disparities and public safety, and find solutions to challenges in public administration, public health, exercise physiology and urban design.

We have eight academic departments with undergraduate and graduate programs, the Kristin Farmer Autism Center, the Center for Public Management, the UNT Speech and Hearing Center, the UNT Work Inclusion and Supported Employment (UNTWISE) program, UNT ELEVAR, and several professional development and clinical training programs to facilitate careers to address a global society.

The Department of Kinesiology, Health Promotion and Recreation (KHPR) has over 1,300 undergraduates and offers a master's degree in Kinesiology and a Ph.D. in Human Performance and Movement Science. Graduate students can specialize in applied physiology or human performance psychology. Current research laboratories include the Applied Physiology Laboratory (where this position will primarily be housed), Pediatric Movement and Physical Activity Laboratory, Sport and Exercise Psychophysiology Laboratory, Sport Physical Activity and Health Laboratory, and Physical Activity and Psychomotor Learning Laboratory.

The Applied Physiology Laboratory (APL) is a collaborative research facility which includes a large well-equipped biochemistry laboratory space with state-of-the-art equipment. In addition, the APL also has dedicated research spaces for exercise testing (aerobic and strength), muscle and adipose biopsies, and phlebotomy, clinical studies (with adjustable bed and TV), body composition assessment (DXA and BIA), and an array of cardiovascular and autonomic testing equipment.

Other spaces house a lower body negative pressure chamber, a heat/cold chamber, and a float tank. We can perform indirect calorimetry, continuous blood pressure monitoring, multiple microneurography systems, transcranial Doppler ultrasound, multiple ultrasound assessments, specialized arterial wall tracking software for assessment of flow mediated dilation, neural diagnostic cart, isokinetic dynamometer, surface EMG system, and multiple near-infrared spectroscopy devices. The research spaces and major equipment in the APL are shared among KHPR faculty.

Further information about facilities and equipment in the APL is available upon application and request.

UNT has a highly diverse campus with a wide range of languages spoken in addition to English.
