The Sport and Exercise Science team supports a wide portfolio of research, ranging from piloting health promotion initiatives and promoting active lifestyles, to improving elite sports performance. The team also supports both UG and PG courses delivered by the Academy of Sport and Physical Activity. The main activity of this role is to provide high-quality technical support for research and commercial clients at the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, and support a diverse range of other activities for the University.
You will have a comprehensive knowledge of physical activity and human movement, alongside technical expertise in the operation of the associated equipment. You will have an understanding of research methods and the data collection and analysis methods that may be employed in the area and understand the potential applications of these to help drive the utilisation of specialist equipment and spaces.
