(CNN) The first full-time director of sports medicine and science for USA Gymnastics is out after a day on the job.

The embattled organization announced it had appointed Edward Nyman to the position effective Monday. Nyman's "employment will not continue due to a conflict of interest," the Indianapolis-based group said on Tuesday.

USA Gymnastics said it would immediately renew its search to find a candidate to replace Nyman.
