Job Posting: Postdoctoral Fellow, UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems
The job posting for a Postdoctoral Fellow is in the Food, Nutrition and Health program in the UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems.
Background:
Improving the eating habits and nutritional health of children and adolescents is a priority area for health promotion.
