About this position

The University of Salzburg is seeking a postdoctoral University Assistant with PhD for the Division Food–Movement–Health in its Department of Sports and Exercise Science. The role combines independent scientific research with contributions to university teaching and the broader research and teaching activities of the department.

The division works at the intersection of food, movement and health, within a department dedicated to the importance of physical activity and sport across the lifespan, performance and recovery, exercise conditions, sports equipment, and the teaching of movement and sport. The research environment supports empirical sports-science work and connects with the University of Salzburg’s wider strengths in life sciences, sustainability, health and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to research and teaching related to sports and health. Relevant methodological areas include sports-science measurement and testing, such as gas-exchange measurement and ergometry, body-composition assessment, motor testing and accelerometry. The position also interfaces with data processing, medical statistics, machine learning and the development and management of research databases.

The successful researcher will join the Food–Movement–Health division under the contact of Susanne Ring-Dimitriou at the University of Salzburg’s Faculty of Natural and Life Sciences. The position offers an opportunity to develop an academic profile through research, peer-reviewed publication, international scientific communication, project management, third-party funding activity and independent teaching in a research-led university setting.

Applicants should have university teaching experience in sports and health; experience writing scientific papers, relevant peer-reviewed publications and international scientific presentations; experience acquiring competitive third-party funding and conducting empirical studies with project-management responsibility; and experience with sports-science measurement methods and testing procedures, including gas-exchange measurement and ergometry, body composition, motor testing and accelerometry.
