Description

The Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) is on a bold journey towards Brisbane 2032 and beyond. Following the extraordinary success of Queensland athletes at the recent Olympic and Paralympic Games, we are now focused on delivering even more medal-winning moments through to Los Angeles 2028 and our home Games in 2032.

On 1 July 2025, the QAS transitioned to a Statutory Body, guided by our values and focused on developing fit-for-purpose governance and corporate arrangements that support our vision of Inspiring Extraordinary Sporting Success.

Our ambitious high-performance strategy for the 2032 Games is to create more medal-winning moments for Queensland athletes that inspire their state and nation. While our strategy guides our performance, our culture truly delivers it. Given our vision, our culture is vitally important to us.

The QAS provides Movement Science support to Queensland-based Cycling athletes and coaches. This role will provide expert support to the QAS Track Cycling program that includes Track Endurance, Track Sprint and Para Road and Track Cycling disciplines, as well as impactful project support to the AusCycling Action and Acceleration Centre of Excellence.

Some of your responsibilities will include: 

  • Provide high-level, evidence-based movement science servicing skills and advice to Cycling coaches and QAS categorised Cycling athletes in line with each athlete's Individual Athlete Performance Plan (IAPP) which is aligned with AusCycling's What It Takes to Win (WITTW) framework.
  • Support AusCycling coaches and athletes by delivering projects that investigate movement science performance problems and technical development across the athletes within the Action and Acceleration Centre of Excellence.
  • Work collaboratively with the QAS Movement Science Technical Lead and other Performance Support Team staff to ensure support is targeted and effective. Develop skills to work collaboratively as part of a high-performing team, establishing and maintaining effective partnerships with key internal and external stakeholders to help identify, lead and deliver high quality integrated outcomes.
  • Collect, store, analyse and share athlete data and vision in the Athlete Management System (AMS) and other approved platforms in line with QAS and AusCycling expectations.

The QAS is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all athletes, children and young people that are involved in QAS supported sport programs.

We are committed to an environment where athletes from any background are heard, treated fairly and free from abuse.

More information regarding the QAS Safeguarding Statement of Commitment can be found on our website (https://www.qasport.qld.gov.au/about-qas/sport-integrity).

Applications will remain current for 12 months.
