About this position

Newcastle University, in collaboration with Newcastle Red Bulls, is offering a fully funded PhD studentship investigating contact training load and its effects in professional rugby union. The doctoral project is based in the Faculty of Medical Sciences and focuses on a major performance challenge in collision-based team sport.

The successful researcher will be embedded within the Newcastle Red Bulls Senior Athletic Performance Department and will work day to day alongside professional players, coaches and support staff. The role combines doctoral research with practical professional sport science, giving the student the opportunity to translate biomechanical and performance findings into a high-performance sporting environment.

The project is particularly suited to a researcher interested in biomechanics, modelling complex biological systems, rugby performance, strength and conditioning, and the demands of multidisciplinary sport science. The supervisory and professional environment includes Emma Stevenson, Iain Spears, Judd Kalkhoven, Tom Clough and Kevin McShane, with links to Newcastle University’s School of Biomedical, Nutritional and Sport Sciences and the professional rugby performance setting.

The studentship is located in Newcastle upon Tyne and offers a close connection between academic research and elite sport practice.

Funding details

Fully funded for three years full-time, covering tuition fees and providing a tax-free stipend.

What's required

Applicants should have a strong background in biomechanics, ideally with experience modelling complex biological systems; an understanding of rugby and other collision-based team-sport demands and their performance challenges; and the ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary professional sporting environment while bridging research and high-performance sport. UK/Home fee status is required.

How to apply

Review the project details and submit an application through the Newcastle University postgraduate funding or application information linked in the advert. Confirm eligibility for UK/Home fee status and provide the required application materials before 11 December 2026.
