Biography

Dr Natalie Lander is a Senior Research Fellow in the Institiute for Physical Actiivty and Nutrition at Deakin University. Her research focus is around developing and delivering evidenced-based teacher education interventions, which aim to improve students’ health, learning and wellbeing outcomes.

Natalie has completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (RMIT University), a Bachelor of Health Science: Honours (H1) (Deakin University), and a PhD (Deakin University). In addition, Natalie has 10 years’ experience as a leading teacher in both primary and secondary schools, and 10 years of university teaching experience at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In conjunction with her experience and expertise in education, Natalie has quickly established herself as a noted and productive researcher in the field of teacher education, motor competence and physical activity.

She was the recipient of several awards throughout her PhD candidature, and on completion was awarded the ‘Deakin University Shortlisted award for Alfred Deakin medals for Doctoral Thesis’ and the ACHPER Award of Distinction: Most Outstanding Doctoral research. Natalie was awarded the highly competitive Alfred Deakin Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (2019-2020).

Despite being only six years-post-PhD, Natalie has produced a number of key publications, has widely disseminated her research at key international and national conferences, and has been an invited speaker and a symposium discussant and chair. Natalie has also actively lead research, evidenced by her track record of obtaining research funding, and securing industry funding via stakeholder engagement (over $650,000).
