Physical Therapist/Exempt

Job Summary

The University of Kentucky BioMotion Laboratory is seeking a Physical Therapist who is passionate about sports medicine, orthopedic rehabilitation, and helping athletes and active individuals return to high-level function after injury.

This is not a typical outpatient physical therapy position. The physical therapist will work in a modern, research-centered clinical environment with no insurance billing, providing high-quality rehabilitation for patients recovering after ACL reconstruction and other lower extremity sports and traumatic injuries. Treatment is guided by objective strength and functional testing, criterion-based progression, and return-to-sport decision-making.

The position is ideal for a physical therapist who wants to grow as a clinician, become more involved in clinical research, and work as part of a supportive academic team. The role includes competitive pay and benefits, training in research procedures, and opportunities, if desired, to contribute to innovative rehabilitation studies and present research at national meetings.
