Building on the premise that “exercise is medicine”, UVA’s Department of Kinesiology seeks to hire a senior faculty member to advance the science and implementation of precision exercise and physical activity interventions aimed at improving health outcomes among individuals of different racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, or otherwise underrepresented groups. The successful candidate will demonstrate expertise in addressing physical activity disparities through targeted interventions, drawing upon social and behavioral science theories in an effort to positively impact broader health and wellness disparities among disadvantaged groups.
Applicants should have a significant record of scholarly productivity and research that clearly aligns with at least one of the three existing graduate program areas: Athletic Training & Sports Medicine, Exercise Physiology & Nutrition, or Kinesiology for Individuals with Disabilities.
