The Hull York Medical School at the University of York is looking for an enthusiastic and experienced research associate to deliver on nutrition research that has the potential to make a difference to children, families and schools.
School meals offer a critical opportunity to improve diet quality and health, particularly in deprived areas where children face poorer diets and higher rates of obesity and dental decay. With UK government standards updating in 2027, there is a key opportunity to elevate food quality. However, for real impact, meals must be nutritious, appealing, and widely eaten. Evolving political, social, and environmental landscapes mean further research is essential.
This post will work on a programme of research related to school food in partnership with key policy decision makers and relevant national organisations.
The post will join the Public Health Nutrition team (led by Prof Maria Bryant), a agile research team that focuses on advancing health and well-being through impactful investigations into key areas of public health nutrition and social determinants of health in children and families. They will be integrated within both the Hull York Medical School and the Department of Health Sciences (sitting within the Population and Society research group led by Professor Kate Pickett).
The post will be appointed by the Hull York Medical School and will be based on the York Campus, within the Department of Health Sciences, whilst also maintaining strong links with the relevant departments across the Campus
