Industry Phd Scholarship - Skill Transfer And Skill Acquisition In Team Sports

Details of the offer

Skill acquisition specialists work with coaches and athletes to co-create learning environments that support the development of sport-specific perceptual-motor skills. This project is a collaboration between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), American Football Australia (AFA), and University of Canberra (UC).

Objectives

This project aims to develop a framework to guide talent transfer and skill acquisition in team sports, using AFA's preparation for the LA 2028 Olympics as a case study. The candidate will lead the project under mentorship from sport scientists and academics while working collaboratively with the AIS, AFA, and UC.

The project may include exploring, but is not limited to: 1) how to match individuals with a potential transfer sport, 2) how to support skill development and learning design for newly transferred athletes, and 3) how individual constraints may influence transfer and development.

There will be opportunities to conduct research with female and male athletes and to spend time immersed within AFA, the AIS, and UC. However, the candidate will have the opportunity shape the research direction and their experience depending on their interests. The candidate will also be supported to develop skills and experience for a future career post PhD.

How will it work?

The PhD candidate will be enrolled through the University of Canberra but will work closely with American Football Australia and the Australian Institute of Sport. The program will commence early 2025.

Are you eligible?

Applicants will need to:


Have a Bachelor degree and Honours or Masters degree in sports science, coaching, and/or education.

Have experience working in sport (coaching, physical education, or in high performance).

Meet UC academic and English language entry requirements for the PhD program.

International applicants are welcome to apply.


The successful applicant will receive a Stipend Scholarship of AUS $35,000 per year (tax-free), plus research-related expenses and a laptop.
