This post is a part-time academic post coupled with a part-time PhD scholarship fixed term for 5 years. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and talented Academic Associate, in Exercise Physiology to contribute to teaching in the Department of Sport Science.

Currently the Department comprises ~50 academic staff and ~50 PhD research students, as well as large undergraduate and taught postgraduate cohorts.

With four well-equipped physiology laboratories, the British Olympic Association approved environmental chamber, the recently refurbished performance analysis suite and biomechanics and neuromuscular performance laboratories in the £4m Natural Sciences Research Centre, we offer a friendly environment of excellence and invite you to join us.

Package description NTU will pay for UK/EU PhD student tuition fees for this post only, as international students applying would need to pay the differential between UK and international student fees. Furthermore, as this is a part-time academic post coupled with a part-time PhD scholarship, this role does not meet the minimum requirements set by UK Visas & Immigration to enable sponsorship of migrant workers. Therefore, we cannot progress applications from candidates who require sponsorship to work in the UK. NTU do not currently support part time study under a Tier 4 Visa. International Students are welcome to apply for full-time PhD’s.
