Jonathan Connor joined JCU in 2018 as a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science. Having completed his undergraduate degree with James Cook University, Jonathan also completed his Honours by examining anticipatory decision-making and eye-tracking in elite Rugby League players in 2013. Jonathan went on to work for Cricket Australia as a part of his PhD exploring the measurement and development of cricket batting expertise utilising a representative learning design approach, and completed this in 2018. Previously, Jonathan has held collaborative arrangements with Cricket Australia, Queensland Cricket, and the North Queensland Cowboys.

His areas of research interests include skill acquisition, talent identification and development, motor learning and coaching approaches. Currently conducting research exploring how manipulating individual constraints can impact motor control and decision-making skills within representative performance environments.
