School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences
Full-time, fixed-term position for up to 3 years
Base salary will be in the range $78,871 - $105,004 + 17% Superannuation (Academic Level A)
Based at our St Lucia campus
About This OpportunityThis is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences and work on the AI-Empowered and Video-Based uplift of Paralympic classification systems (funded through the Advance Queensland Industry Research Program, administered by FOME.ai).
Para sport classification systems aim to ensure fair competition such that events are not simply won by the athlete with the least severe impairment but by those with the most advantageous combination of physiology, psychology, coaching, technique, and other factors.
While current methods are based on the best available science, evidence-based systems of classification have not yet been developed.
Furthermore, classification depends on face-to-face physical assessment, and athletes can cheat by deliberately underperforming on effort-dependent tests.
Our team aims to create an AI-empowered mobile application to analyze device-based video, verify effort fidelity, and deliver objective, evidence-based classification.
The result will be high-quality, trusted classification that is cheap, accessible, and inclusive.
Outcomes will permit the creation and commercialization of similar applications for the injury insurance industry, rehabilitation, and aged care.
The project is a collaborative effort between the sports tech industry, computer vision experts, and experts in Para sport science and classification, together with international industry partners.
The successful candidate in this role will work with this diverse yet complementary team.
Key responsibilities will include:Research: Support research initiatives and projects, publish in reputable journals, participate in competitive research funding applications, support the transfer of knowledge, utilize best practice research methodologies, and participate in project discussions.Supervision and Researcher Development: Supervise Honours and HDR students as required, deliver training for clinicians and classifiers to collect research-quality data, and resolve conflicts as they arise.Citizenship and Service: Work collegially in a large multi-professional team, actively participate in project activities, contribute to internal service roles and administrative processes, and develop external links and partnerships.This is a research-focused position.
