Career Development Fellowships

The University is committed to enabling all our colleagues to achieve their full potential. Durham University's Career Development Fellowships are fixed term positions, which include structured development support for early career academics to deliver outstanding education, innovative research/scholarship, and to engage in citizenship activities. The post-holder will be a full academic member of the Department, working alongside world-class colleagues, with the support of a designated mentor.

Career Development Fellows will benefit from tailored support to strengthen their skills, will be provided with a range of academic opportunities, and will benefit from protected time to foster different aspects of their career. The Career Development Fellowships will enable early career academics to acquire a strong and well-rounded foundation to support future applications for substantive academic roles at Durham or elsewhere (no guarantee can be given that a permanent role at Durham will be available for the CDF to apply for at the end of the Fellowship).

Successful applicants will ideally be in post by 1 October 2024.

The Department

The Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Durham University seeks to appoint a talented individual to a fixed term Career Development Fellowship. We are looking to appoint a high-quality, intellectually curious, and collegial individual with research and teaching interests in the broad field of physical activity, sports and health. We are particularly interested to hear from applicants with a focus on the role of sport/physical activity policy and/or political science, sports development, or sports management.

This post offers an exciting opportunity to develop an internationally recognised line of research/scholarship, while receiving tailored support for your career progression at a progressive, world-leading institution. Following the end of the term, the fellow should be well-positioned to apply for relevant permanent academic roles, should they arise, at Durham or elsewhere.

The Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences is a global leader across a range of sport and physical activity domains. We have been named the 2023 Sports University of the Year by @thetimes, ranked 2nd in the UK in the Complete University Guide 2023, and 10th (GPA) in the 2021 UK Research Excellence Framework (REF). We are also a QS World Top 100 department for sport related subjects. The Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences offers a vibrant, inclusive and collegial environment for talented individuals to flourish, where everyone is treated fairly with dignity and respect.
