This position requires the successful candidate to primarily teach units that focus on strength and conditioning in the Masters of Exercise Science (Strength and Conditioning) with the possibility of some teaching within the undergraduate Sport Science course. Given the broad nature of strength and conditioning, applicants who can teach into multiple areas of sports science will be more competitive.

Have relevant post-graduate qualifications, and/or completing a PhD in sports science or a related field with a focus on strength and conditioning and human performance. Applicants who have completed a PhD and possess an appropriate research profile will be more competitive at the Level B appointment. Applicants who have not completed a PhD, should be close to completing their PhD.;

Have an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certification or ability to complete it with first 6 months of employment.

Have an ASCA Level-2 or higher accreditation or an ASCA Level-1 accreditation with the potential to upgrade to an ASCA Level-2 accreditation.

Have lecturing or tutoring experience and the ability to teach into research methods, applied biomechanics, and physiological testing methods, or other units with a strength and conditioning focus within the discipline.

Have the ability to teach R, advanced statistical methods, Excel coding, and other technologies related to strength and conditioning.

Have demonstrated experience delivering on and off campus classes through online/digital technologies.

Have demonstrated experience and/or equivalence in ensuring best practice in teaching, including activities around moderation of assessments and;

Have a developing research track record, including peer-reviewed journal articles, successful grants and research translation experience or equivalent industry outputs which demonstrate a significant contribution to the strength and conditioning field.

Lecturer, Exercise and Sports Science (Biomechanics)

This position will require you to teach into units which focus on biomechanics and functional anatomy. Given the broad nature of exercise and sports science, applicants who can teach into other areas such as growth and development, motor learning and control, and/or strength and conditioning will be more competitive.
