About the Job

Fixed Term for 1 year

Interview Date: 16 July 2024

The post holder will primarily be responsible for delivering high quality teaching and assisting in the design and development of innovative and inclusive teaching materials for coaching related modules on BSc Esports, as well as our BSc Sport and Exercise Science, and BSc Sport Coaching degree programmes. Applications are welcomed from individuals with experience of working with a diverse range of athletes and teams in esports and/or sport settings or who have the capability and motivation to traverse the two.

As an academic, you will be expected to contribute to the research and scholarly output of the subject area and work collegiately with other researchers within the faculty and university wide. Research and scholarship are supported through our research centres, mentor scheme, and leave for scholarly activity.

UON supports Smarter Working which allows you to work with flexibility. However, there will be an expectation to carry out teaching duties appropriate to the session type, meetings with staff and students, and personal tutor support should this require a physical, on-campus presence at various times.

About you

You will have academic and / or professional background in esports and/or sport coaching science and possess an ability to translate theory to practice, creating learning environments to develop students' knowledge, skills, and professional competencies. You will have expertise in areas related to sport coaching, talent and expertise development, athlete performance testing, training, and conditioning. Applied experience working with athletes and teams in esports and/or sports, and an ability to teach across the wider subject area, will be considered an advantage.

The successful candidate will be ICT literate and have experience in leading and teaching modules in HE settings. You will be highly disciplined, organised, supportive, and able to work collegiately within a team. A successful track record of research publications, successful grant applications, and/or generation of commercial income, would be welcomed.

Importantly, we are looking for individuals who are not only team players, with academic and industry expertise, but who will own and live the university values.

Qualifications

Degree qualification or equivalent in relevant subject

Master's degree in relevant subject

Professional Recognition as HEA Fellow (D2) or teaching qualification recognised by HESA, or willingness to obtain within an agreed timescale
