The successful applicant will be responsible for:

• Contributing to the sports science support of Academy players across all age groups
• Collation & analysis of GPS data from match-play and training
• Implementation and analysis of jump testing procedures, as an indirect marker of neuromuscular fatigue and readiness to train.

• Contribute to the development of monitoring practices within the Academy

Details of funding

The successful applicant will receive:

• Student fees for full-time MRes (equivalent to £6,150)

• appropriate understanding/experience of the technical and physical aspects of Academy football
• appropriate understanding and experience of using GPS technology
