About the Project

The project aims to develop, refine, and test an intervention designed to increase VILPA. This involves working closely with the research team, partner organisations, and other stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of the project. As the recruitment lead, you will oversee the various phases of the project, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to achieve the desired outcomes.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage the project from inception to completion, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to budgets
  • Develop the scientific part of the intervention, including designing experiments and collecting data
  • Analyse quantitative and qualitative data to inform the development of the intervention
  • Collaborate with international researchers across three continents to share knowledge and best practices
  • Lead or co-lead project dissemination activities, including conference presentations and manuscript submissions
About the Team

You will be joining a dynamic team of researchers who are passionate about advancing our understanding of physical activity and health. Our team is committed to excellence, innovation, and collaboration, and we are looking for someone who shares these values.

Requirements

To be considered for this role, you will need to possess the following qualifications:

  • A PhD degree in a relevant field, such as physical activity and health, public health, or health psychology
  • Research experience related to digital interventions for health, physical activity promotion, and behaviour change
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Experience with analysis of quantitative and qualitative data
  • Project management experience, preferably in a research setting
