WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
ISGlobal is seeking a Postdoctoral candidate in epidemiological modelling for the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) research group, to manage activities in the project InequalRED. The overall goal of the HIA group is to evaluate the impact of public interventions on health outcomes. The HIA group is part of the ISGlobal Severo Ochoa (SO) programme which supports interdisciplinary science to improve the understanding of complex health problems. The group collaborates with other programmes to evaluate and model more effective interventions to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.

HIA also aims to maximize its research impact through advocacy activities and dynamic dialogue with policy makers and programme managers.

The Project "INEQUALRED: Implementing a platform for fiscal interventions to reduce health inequalities and mitigate the impact of economic downturns" aims to create a comprehensive microsimulation platform that will allow designing cost-effective social policies in order to reduce morbidity, mortality and health inequalities in Spain, and mitigate the health effects of the current and future global economic downturns. Additionally, the postdoctoral candidate will collaborate with other HIA projects and gain the benefit from the expertise of a wide network of researchers and modellers in Spain, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa, where the HIA team has similar models and studies.
