We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.Context And Mission Despite increasing awareness of climate change impacts on health, our ability to quantify the extent to which climate change is responsible for worsening health outcomes remains limited.
Health impact attribution studies can provide essential input into policy-making processes by quantifying the climate change related health burden via causally linking greenhouse gas emissions to observed health outcomes.
This is crucial to informing health risk assessments, public health interventions, financial investments, and communication strategies aimed at policymakers and the public.The Global Health Resilience (GHR) group led by ICREA Research Professor Rachel Lowe at the BSC-CNS is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to co-create innovative modelling tools for impact attribution of climate-related health risks.
The selected candidate will work within the Wellcome Trust funded project TACTIC (HealTh ImpAct ToolkIt for Climate change attribution).
The project will deliver a user-friendly digital toolkit comprising resources tailored to the needs of policymakers, researchers and other professionals to better comprehend, interpret and communicate findings and conduct new health impact attribution studies.The GHR group conducts cutting-edge methodological research on disentangling the impacts of global environmental change on infectious disease risk and co-developing indicators and impact-based forecasting models
