Available Postdoctoral Opportunities in i-Well Research Lab

The iWell Research Lab run by Associate Professor Matthew Plow, PhD, is seeking postdoctoral candidates for a research program improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Research indicates that interventions involving the learning of self-management skills and engaging in healthy behaviors have only a modest effect on improving function and quality of life in people with MS.
