About the area

Exercise Science consists of a dynamic group of academics delivering Exercise and Sports Science Australia accredited courses in Sport and Exercise  Science and Clinical Exercise Physiology. Additionally, Exercise Science has a growing postgraduate program strengthened by state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities. Exercise Science is keen to develop synergies with health organisations locally, nationally and internationally such as with the $2 billion Fiona Stanley Hospital located next the University.

The Role

Exercise Science has an opportunity for a talented academic at either a Lecturer (Level B) or Senior Lecturer level (Level C) that can provide leadership in teaching and research within an area of priority (Exercise Physiology) in the discipline.
