Julie Sandell Jacobsen is employed as an associate professor (docent) at VIA University College Aarhus. She is also affiliated with the Research Unit for General Practice in Aarhus and holds a position as an external lecturer in epidemiology and Health Promotion and Intervention research at the Department of Public Health, Aarhus University. She completed her PhD in April 2020 with a dissertation centred on the outcomes of hip-preserving surgery in individuals diagnosed with hip dysplasia.
Since 2009, Julie Sandell Jacobsen has engaged in research focusing on young and middle-aged individuals experiencing musculoskeletal conditions. After completing her master's degree, she worked as a research physiotherapist at the Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy at Aarhus University Hospital. Her postdoctoral work includes the MovetheHip Research project, which investigates an exercise and patient education intervention for individuals with hip dysplasia not undergoing surgical treatment. This project is designed in accordance with the Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework for Complex Interventions in Health, incorporating a feasibility study, effectiveness study, process evaluation, and health-economic study
As part of the "Move" research group affiliated to the Research Unit for General Practice, she is now focusing on designing and evaluating complex interventions that promote physical activity, thereby addressing a critical area in public health and rehabilitation: https://feap.au.dk/forskning/fysisk-aktivitet-move/.
In addition to her research endeavours, Julie Sandell Jacobsen is deeply committed to lecturing and mentoring students. Since 2008, she has taught and supervised undergraduate students from VIA University College (Denmark) and both undergraduate and graduate students from Aarhus University (Denmark). Currently, she serves as the primary PhD supervisor for one student and as a co-supervisor for two PhD candidates whose research projects—BackinLife, MoveMom, and MoveyourLungs—focus on physical activity in different subgroups and the connection between the healthcare sector and active communities within civil society.
