Graduate Assistantship in sport management and gender
World-class University! World-class Opportunity!
An exciting opportunity is now available for potential doctoral students interested in the interdisciplinary study of sport policy, ethics, and gender. This program offers graduate students a chance to learn more about the sport policy process, sport management ethics, and girls and women in sport within the contexts of intercollegiate athletics and youth sports.
This graduate assistantship includes a tuition waiver, employer-paid health insurance (95% of monthly premiums) and a stipend. Support will also be available for current research projects and participation in national conferences.
Applicants should show aptitude for Doctoral-level studies, experience with qualitative data collection and analysis, experience with working in different sport organizations and policy, and clear career goals. Current research projects include examining the deliberative process in Title IX legislation, and the role of government, and the adoption of governance techniques in the context of sport policy processes. Future directions likely include examining the various employments of power in NCAA legislation and the ethical implications of youth sport policy. In general, the applicant should be knowledgeable and passionate about the ethical implications of sport policy and gender.
