We are seeking a highly motivated and successful biomechanist to contribute and further enhance the world-class research and teaching within Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Leeds. The Sport and Exercise Sciences research group were ranked 1st for ‘World Leading’ 4* research in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) and the University obtained Gold in the recent TEF awards, this is therefore a chance to join a sector-leading group within the UK.
Embedded within Sports and Exercise Sciences you will work with a vibrant, dynamic research group and will complement and enhance our current research portfolio. Current studies include work aimed at understanding how muscles are used to move humans and/or animals, including the links between musculoskeletal design, locomotor performance and energetics. We also study the mechanics of lower limb function in sport and injury, the biomechanical impact of physical activity on prosthesis function, and rehabilitation following spinal cord injury.
To complement our existing research we welcome applications from candidates who have a research portfolio related to these areas, but also welcome applications from across all applied areas of biomechanics with close associations to sport and exercise, whether in health and/or performance. We are particularly interested in applicants with extensive applied experience working with teams or in the corporate sector. Alternately, you may conduct research in the pedagogical/education domain and bring innovation within educational areas demonstrating potential to enhance practice both locally and elsewhere with a background of excellence in teaching practice and outreach activities.
To explore the post further or for any queries you may have, please contact any of the following:
