Offer Description

INDEEP (INtervention on the DEterminants of, and Expertise in, Physical activity behaviours) is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network which brings together people and organisation from across the world to train a new generation of researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the determinants associated with Physical Activity Behaviours, innovative methodologies, and data analytics.

In INDEEP, the PhD candidates will take part in the development of novel and innovative techniques in the examination of determinants of physical activity behaviours while working with world leading researchers and practitioners.Through utilising determinant knowledge gained through state-of-the-art methodologies, and systematically integrating this knowledge with a co-creative methodology, the INDEEP intervention development toolkit will provide researchers and practitioners across Europe with an evidence-based best practice approach to intervention development, taking into consideration the interactions within a complex behavioural system.

INDEEP offers 10 PhDs across eight European countries. These PhD opportunities are in a broad range of disciplines, with each focused on the impacts on Physical Activtiy Behaviours. The opportunities are relevant for graduates with expertise and experience in genetics, physical activity measurement, psychosocial factors, interpersonal factors, environmental factors, policy factors, intervention development, intervention co-creation processes and outcome and process evaluation.
