Graduate Teaching Assistant opportunities available within the Department of Sport

The department of Sport is situated within the College of Health, Wellbeing and Lifesciences at Sheffield Hallam University and conducts research activity in a number of key areas:

• Physical Activity, Wellness and Public Health
• Sports Industry
• Sports Engineering
• Sport and Human Performance

In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF), 67% of our research was rated as world-leading and internationally excellent (4* and 3*), with 100% of our research environment judged to be 3* or 4*.

Our innovative and applied research is funded through research councils and charities grants, in addition to investment from companies and organisations in the sport and physical activity industry. Staff have well-established national and international collaborations with academics and industry/clinical partners. We have a community of approximately 45 postgraduate students in sport and physical activity who are at the heart of contributing to our research output. All doctoral students are supported by a comprehensive programme of doctoral training and encouraged to present their research findings at national and international conferences.

We have four Research Groups within the Sport and Physical Activity Research Centre (SPARC) and welcome applications for research study in any of these areas.
