Deakin University recently re-designated the Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research (CPAN) as a research institute, the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN).  IPAN is a multidisciplinary research institute spanning biomedical, clinical and population health research with world class expertise in both nutrition and physical activity.

The Senior Research Fellow-Implementation Science will conduct research in the area of physical activity or nutrition promotion, with a focus on implementation science in one or more of these areas.  Examples of current project areas include: translation and implementation of efficacious interventions at scale in the population (e.g. school-based trials promoting physical activity and health; interventions promoting healthy eating and salt reduction); synthesis and translation of research evidence into recommendations for public health guidelines and food policy and practice; and studies to enhance understanding of the complex causal mechanisms that influence the translation and integration of evidence into practice in key settings (e.g. workplaces, health care, schools).
