Academic public health
2014
Academic public health practitioners are interested in carrying out research to investigate
public health issues or in teaching public health. Many academic public health
practitioners are active in both teaching and research. An academic position can involve
teaching about public health in a university or college, or setting up research projects
to investigate specific public health issues (such as obesity, hospital cleanliness and
climate change, but there is no limit to the variety of research) and publishing the
results. Research in public health tackles some of the most challenging dilemmas
facing the health and wellbeing of modern societies, in the UK and internationally.
Examples of roles in the workplace include public health research assistants and
lecturers or professors in public health. The generic setting for academic work is often
described as ‘academia’.
