il y a 2 semaines
**Bedrijf**
**Sciensano **is het instituut ontstaan uit de samensmelting van het Wetenschappelijk Instituut voor Volksgezondheid (WIV-ISP) en het Veterinair en Agrochemisch Onderzoekscentrum (CODA-CERVA). Onze instituten hebben hun krachten gebundeld om de gezondheid van mens en dier beter te begrijpen. Sciensano ondersteunt het gezondheidsbeleid door innovatief wetenschappelijk onderzoek, analyses, surveillance en expertadvies.
Samen met meer dan 850 medewerkers werken wij mee aan meer dan 100 wetenschappelijke projecten gefinancierd door overheden, Belgische of internationale partners en opdrachtgevers. Zo dragen we bij tot een langer gezond leven voor iedereen.
**Functiebeschrijving**
You will join the **Nutrition and health team** (part of Health Information service) and support two new European projects namely “**Combatting diet-related chronic diseases through enhanced surveillance**” (Co-DIET) and “**Healthy Lifestyle for the health promotion and prevention of non-communicable diseases and risk factors**” (Health4EUkids).
**About the projects**: _CoDiet aims to develop a series of tools which address the current gaps in our knowledge and lead to the development of a tool that will assess dietary induced chronic disease risk. Sciensano contributes to Work Package 6 and will coordinate a policy mapping and benchmarking effort to update the evidence on policy implementation to create healthy food environments in EU countries. The policy mapping will deep dive into two areas: an assessment of the extent to which the design of policies is targeted to addressing the dietary dimensions closely linked with chronic disease risk; and an assessment of the surveillance approaches countries have put in place to monitor policy impacts. _
- The Health4EUkids Joint Action aims to learn from the implementation of best practices related to community health promotion already developed in EU member states. The scope of the project is to promote healthy lifestyles in families with children to prevent childhood obesity, to increase physical activity and healthy diet in children, families and communities with a focus on social norms, recognition and self-esteem in deprived districts in member states._
Your tasks include:
- to manage the project management in liaison with other European partners and the EU coordinators:
- to coordinate the policy mapping and analysis across the different countries and extracting key scenarios for further evaluation (CoDiet);
- to evaluate the potential of implementing best practice interventions to prevent childhood obesity, to increase physical activity and healthy diet in children, families and communities with a focus on social norms, recognition and self-esteem in deprived districts in Belgium (Health4EUKids);
- and the dissemination and reporting activities.
You join a team of public health experts and epidemiologists, and have the opportunity to interact with international experts and stakeholders.
**Profiel**
A master's degree in a field relevant to the research domain (e.g. public health, nutritional sciences, political sciences, health promotion)
Prof. experience (min. 2 years): policies and interventions for obesity prevention, either in research, policy, or practice; qualitative research methods in public health
Statistical skills (R or SAS)
Asset: scientific publications
