Are you driven by a passion for advancing knowledge and shaping the next generation of sport professionals? Join us at the University of Brighton as a Lecturer in Exercise Science and become part of a vibrant, forward-thinking academic community within our School of Education, Sport and Health Sciences.
This is more than just a teaching role—it’s a chance to make a real impact. You’ll contribute to a research-active environment that values innovation, inclusivity, and excellence in both education and student experience.
Located in one of the UK’s most dynamic and diverse coastal cities, the University of Brighton is renowned for its real-world impact and commitment to social progress. Our internationally recognised sport programmes are supported by cutting-edge facilities, including state-of-the-art laboratories and performance centres, and benefit from strong partnerships with industry leaders and community organisations.
We’re looking for a motivated and knowledgeable individual with expertise in Exercise Science who can inspire students through engaging, high-quality teaching. Whether your background is in academia or professional practice, we value your experience and will support you in developing your own research or applied interests within a collaborative and supportive environment.
In order to be successful in this role you should have:
- A relevant degree in Sport & Exercise Science or Sport Therapy, or related field
- A post graduate qualification relevant to the exercise science
- A Higher Education teaching qualification and/or an HEA Fellowship, or willingness to undertake this within the first 12 months
- Professional experience of working in areas relevant to exercise rehabilitation, prehabilitation and/or clinical exercise physiology.
- Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES) accreditation
- Understanding of academic and award standards and the range and level of knowledge and skills, both subject-specific and generic, which the programme is intended to foster.
- Experience of leading and implementing creative approaches to developing teaching and learning.
If you have a PhD or Doctorate and can supervise at this level, you will have opportunities to develop as the university has an active programme for supporting early career researchers.
If you're ready to help shape the future of sport education and empower the next generation of sport leaders, we want to hear from you.
