Subject area
The position is in medical sciences specializing in nutritional epidemiology.

Eligibility

Priority should be given to candidates who have been awarded their doctoral degree or acquired the corresponding competence no more than five years before the application deadline.

We welcome personal skills and abilities such as an ability to cooperate, initiative, as well as an interest in course development and educational development work.
Applicants should have advanced knowledge of nutritional assessments and must also have experience of epidemiology or another relevant discipline. The ability to analyse epidemiological data using statistical software such as SPSS or Stata is essential. Experience of organising public engagement events or other forms of popular science engagement in the area of nutrition would be an advantage.
