Exercise Science (SHES) was ranked 5th out of 51 submissions in Unit
of Assessment 26 of the recent Research Excellence Framework

evidenced by all metrics.

The Department is seeking to appoint a full-time Reader/Senior
Lecturer in Sport and Social Science who is a scholar with a strong
track-record of peer-reviewed publications and research grants, as
well as academic leadership. You should also be able to demonstrate
teaching excellence.

We are seeking a dynamic, adaptable colleague who will work with us to
ensure the continuing strength of the Department in both research and
teaching. You will be expected to maintain and develop your own
programme of research, be successful in seeking external funding, and
contribute to teaching and research supervision on relevant
programmes. It is expected that your scholarly activities will
complement and further enhance existing research foci in Physical
Cultural Studies and the wider Department for Health and Faculty of
Humanities and Social Sciences.

While applications are welcomed from all social science disciplines
relevant to the study of sport and physical culture, we are
particularly interested in those whose scholarship fosters
interdisciplinarity through socio-cultural research in Sport and
Physical Activity, with additional areas of expertise such as; Health
and Wellbeing; Politics, Urban Studies and Inequality; Youth, Ageing
and Disability Studies.
