The Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences currently consists of 22 academic staff working in a multidisciplinary environment which enables excellence in teaching and internationally leading research. Academic staff in the Department are part of the Applied Sports, Technology, Exercise and Medicine (A-STEM) Research Centre - Swansea University. A-STEM includes three research groups, Elite and Professional Sport (EPS), Exercise Medicine and Health (EMH), and Sport Ethics, Integrity and Governance (SEIG). We have an ambitious growth plan, and our mission is to develop world leading sport and exercise scientists that can make a difference.

The Department delivers a high-quality undergraduate programme in Sport and Exercise Science which is endorsed by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences, and we consistently achieve outstanding student satisfaction and excellent employability at graduate and professional level through the delivery of high-quality research-led teaching across the subject areas. Our teaching programme is consistently rated in the top 15 and we are ranked 7th for graduate prospects in the UK. We are currently experiencing a period of growth, with a particular emphasis on our postgraduate programmes. To build on the launch of our first taught MSc programme in Advanced Performance Science in 2022, in September (2024), we will be launching a taught MSc in Sport Psychology. The successful candidate will play a role in delivering this MSc programme, alongside contributing to the sport psychology modules on the undergraduate Sport and Exercise Science degree.

For this position, the Department is seeking someone with a research track record in Sport Psychology. While we welcome applications from individuals with an interest in any area of sport psychology, we would particularly welcome applicants who are also able to deliver quantitative research methods.

The successful applicant will be expected to closely work with other academics within the University to deliver joint impact/publications, apply for research funding, and complete postgraduate supervision.
