Medical and digital technologies play an increasingly significant role in how athletes, coaches, and exercisers calculate, record and share their performances, and track and monitor bodily processes and functions. The use of such technologies is contributing to new ways of understanding (and disciplining) the body, health, performance, and selfhood. This two-year post-doctoral fellowship is open to researchers who have a passion for conducting original and independent research on the use of sport, exercise and/ or health technologies. The research focus is intentionally broad, in the hope that applicants will bring their own passion and skills to the position to design original projects that build upon their areas of expertise, and make connections with other researchers in the University. Applicants may have quantitative and/ or qualitative backgrounds, but must have a proven ability to conduct research and publish independently, and have an interest in working collaboratively with various stakeholders, and perhaps with an interdisciplinary research team.
The successful candidate will have completed their PhD upon application (or evidence from Chief supervisor that the applicant is on track to complete their PhD by the commencement of the Fellowship in January 2016); a record of publishing in international, peer-reviewed academic sources; demonstrated ability to participate in collaborative research projects; and good written and spoken communication skills.
Salary will be in the range NZ$69,379 to $84,706 per year, depending on qualifications, skills and experience.
Candidates with questions of an academic nature should contact Dr Holly Thorpe, email: hthorpe@waikato.ac.nz
Fixed-term for two years.
Closing date: 30 October 2015 Vacancy number: 350290
