About us
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is one of the best universities in Europe. TUM stands for outstanding achievements in research and teaching, interdisciplinarity, the promotion of talent and strong alliances with companies and scientific institutions across the globe.
At the Professorship for Public Health and Prevention, the goal of our research is to generate robust scientific evidence on the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and equity impact of interventions and policies to support decision making in health policy and to ultimately improve population health. To generate this evidence, we apply modern empirical methods from the fields of public health, econometrics, epidemiology and decision analyses and closely cooperate with a range of stakeholders. A specific focus of our work is the prevention of non-communicable diseases. More information on the work of Prof. Michael Laxy and his team can be found at https://www.sg.tum.de/en/php/home/.
About the positions
The overarching goal of this project is to improve adolescent health in the seven project partner countries in sub-Saharan Africa through rigorous population-based intervention and policy research. While both positions will focus broadly on evaluating the effectiveness of policies and interventions in the domains of nutrition & physical activity, sexual & reproductive health, and mental health & violence, the specific methodological approach will differ. One position will focus on conducting impact evaluations of community health worker-delivered interventions using randomized controlled trials embedded within population-based cohort studies. The other position will focus on conducting impact evaluations of population-level policies using routine data and quasi-experimental methods.
