We're delighted to be seeking a Knowledge Transfer Associate as part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project, in partnership with The University of Stirling.
This exciting opportunity is for a person interested in working with adolescents to improve adolescent health and wellbeing through physical activity/walking using digital technology on the project T3: Teens, Tech, and Trails. The person employed in this role will have an academic supervisor (Dr Simone Tomaz, University of Stirling) and will be line-managed by Carl Greenwood (Paths for All). Dr Sam Fawkner (University of Edinburgh) and Prof Trish Gorely (University of the Highlands and Islands) are the supporting academics for the project.
In line with our mission to support people in Scotland to be active every day through walking, the aim of this project is to extend the demographic reach of our delivery programmes by co-creating and piloting a new digital walking challenge incentive (e.g., a Young People’s Step Count Challenge) to support young people’s physical health, mental health, and social wellbeing. To do this, we are looking for an associate who is able to develop an excellent working relationship with young people aged 11-17y, teachers, the current Paths for All web developer, and existing invested Paths for All partners, whilst also seeking new collaborators with vested interest in young people’s physical activity and wellbeing.
The closing date for applications is Monday 11 March 2024.
Interviews are expected to take place on Friday 22 March 2024.
