As a NSRL Senior Researcher in our world-class sports research laboratory, you will work with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and innovators in our Athlete Performance Insights team. You will be tasked to create and lead a robust sports specific research agenda aimed at gathering scientific performance insights from elite athletes. You will also drive the development of next generation, innovative athletic footwear concepts and performance hypotheses. You will direct a team to conduct cutting-edge independent laboratory research focusing on athletes, athleticism, performance, and injury. You will lead as a creative scientist-questioning method, results, and applications - and think outside normal research paradigms to find creative ways around barriers to enhancing performance or preventing injury. You will seek better ways to perform scientific research and develop new and creative data collection tools. You will create new growth opportunities and competitive advantages for NIKE in the marketplace.
As a successful candidate, you will demonstrate at an expert level:
• Skills and abilities in conducting research and applying scientific insights, specifically related to sport biomechanics, performance, and injury
• Knowledge of the scientific method, including but not limited to: observation, formulation of testable hypotheses, experimental design, statistical methods and analysis & interpretation of results
• Ability to apply scientific insights to new, innovative products
• Understanding and ability to use and troubleshoot all existing tools commonly used for biomechanical analyses
• Ability to work with elite and professional athletes
• Ability to develop new tools and/or methods for answering scientific inquiry
• Ability to manage a research team
• Ability to communicate scientific data to a wider, non-technical audience
Requirements for the position include
