Exercise Physiologist
About The Position
We're looking for an exercise physiologist to join our team at the Exercise Physiology Core Lab (EPCL) at UVA School of Medicine. Our lab supports clinical research in exercise science, body composition, and metabolism, and we also serve our broader community: providing fitness testing and consultation, participating in School of Medicine outreach, and mentoring the next generation of exercise scientists and clinicians. It's a role with real variety — one day you might be running a CPET on a clinical research subject, the next you're helping a community member get started with exercise, and the next you're teaching a student how to measure an exercise blood pressure.
