Senior Lecturer in Applied Football Science

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

As a passionate educator you will contribute to our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to deliver high-quality teaching that is research- and practice-informed. You will have a background in applied sport science with experience in Performance Analysis and its application to football (all codes).

You will embrace applied experiential learning (including Sandwich Year), with a contribution to develop and oversee placement opportunities with sports organisations and teams. You will actively contribute to curriculum development, bring innovative approaches to your practice, and support wider initiatives aimed at enhancing student engagement, employability, and overall satisfaction.

In collaboration with colleagues and external partners, you will contribute to high-quality research, professional and knowledge exchange activities that can influence professional practice and policy.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
