About The Position

Cognito Systems, a joint venture with Planned Systems International (PSI), is seeking an Athletic Trainer to support the U.S. Army’s Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program at Ft. Riley, Kansas. The role is part of an interdisciplinary team supporting soldier readiness and performance through prevention-focused care, acute injury management, rehabilitation, and performance optimization across the H2F readiness domains: physical, mental, nutritional, sleep, and spiritual. The position also supports evidence-based injury-reduction and recovery strategies and uses data and tools from the Center for Initial Military Training to monitor performance outcomes.

This is an on-site, hands-on role in a fast-paced environment.
