Translational Kinesiology with emphasis in Physical Activity Intervention The Department of Kinesiology at the University of Maryland-College Park (http://sph.umd.edu/KNES/) is seeking three faculty members with expertise in physical activity intervention and/or epidemiology. These positions offer an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic faculty of Kinesiology that is committed to strengthening its impact in the area of physical activity intervention.

The successful candidates for these positions will be scholars whose physical intervention emphasis is in one or more of the following areas: behavioral physical activity intervention; physical activity epidemiology; and/or, socio-cultural correlates of physical activity. For example, a psychology scholar might investigate the psychological/behavioral forces underlying physical activity/inactivity. A socio-cultural scholar might study the social and cultural forces that enable/constrain physical activity among specific populations. An epidemiologist might assess the efficacy and sustainability of rigorous and theory-driven community physical activity interventions. An exercise physiologist might study the impact of a community-based intervention on chronic health conditions on a population basis, potentially addressing health disparities or disadvantaged minorities. Qualifications: Doctorate in kinesiology or related field, evidence of a sustainable and focused research program, evidence of a productive publication history, and strong potential to attract significant extramural funding. Experience in clinical or interventional research, evidence of working in communities diverse in age and ethnicity would be desirable.
