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.
