Marja Jylhä

Olen gerontologian professori Tampereen yliopiston yhteiskuntatieteiden tiedekunnassa terveystieteiden yksikössä. Toimin Gerontologian tutkimuskeskuksessa (GEREC) ja olen Suomen Akatemian rahoittaman Ikääntymisen ja hoivan tutkimuksen huippuyksikön (CoEAgeCare) ryhmänjohtaja. Kesästä 2021 alkaen olen eläkkeellä kokopäivätoimesta, mutta jatkan työtäni osapäiväisessä peofessorin tehtävässä.
