Citizen Science Postdoctoral Researcher A-666

The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) is a cutting-edge institute addressing global public health challenges through research, translation into policy, and education. ISGlobal has a broad portfolio in communicable and non-communicable diseases including environmental and climate determinants and applies a multidisciplinary scientific approach ranging from the molecular to the population level.Research is organized in the following main areas:Climate, Air Pollution, Nature and Urban Health; Environment and Health over the Lifecourse; Global Viral and Bacterial Infections; Malaria and Neglected Parasitic Diseases; Maternal, Child andReproductive Health.ISGlobal is accredited with the Severo Ochoa distinction (received the first accreditation in 2019 and renewed it in 2024), a seal of excellence of the Spanish Science Ministry.What We Are Looking For In the framework of the ISGlobal "Centre of Excellence Severo Ochoa 2024-2028 Programme" (CEX2023-0001290-S) from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Spanish Research State Agency (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033), ISGlobal is seeking a motivated and dedicated postdoctoral researcher to join our team in a participatory research project focused on the health impacts of heat on agricultural migrant workers.The postdoctoral researcher will be based in the research group of Dr. Ana Requena, with co-supervision from Dr. Xavier Basagaña and Dr. Michelle Turner. They will conduct research in the framework of vulnerable populations and occupational health, including migrant workers, climate change, and occupational heat exposure in national and international projects with a focus on participatory research and co-creation methods.The Science and Society group collaborates with ISGlobal research groups to incorporate participatory methodologies into healthcare provision and health-related research areas. Being a collaborative and transversal group within the ISGlobal institution, we promote co-creation and patient and public involvement in health research through the active participation of patients, caregivers, and citizens to achieve a more collaborative science that better responds to the needs of our society.Climate change has led to an increase in global average temperatures and an increase in the frequency and duration of heat waves. Prolonged exposure to heat can lead to heat stress, referring to the heat received exceeding the level that the human body can tolerate without physical impairment.#J-18808-Ljbffr
