17 ago | Instituto De Salud Global De Barcelona (Isglobal) | BarcelonaDescripción: 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 and Reproductive 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.Lugar: Barcelona, Campus MarWHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR: In the framework of our Centre for Excellence Severo Ochoa Programme (CEX2023-001290-S), we are recruiting an enthusiastic, self-motivated post-doctoral researcher with strong quantitative analysis skills to join our dynamic team in the Climate, Air Pollution, Nature and Urban Health research programme. The work will make use of data developed in two Horizon Europe funded projects we coordinate: Climate Action To Advance Healthy Societies in Europe (CATALYSE, GA 101057131) and the Urban Burden of Disease Estimation for Policy Making (UBD Policy, GA 101094639).CATALYSE aims to provide new knowledge, data, and tools to close the knowledge-to-action gap to accelerate climate change action and protect public health in Europe. UBD Policy aims to improve the estimation of health and well-being impacts and socio-economic costs of major urban environmental hazards.The postdoctoral researcher will develop projections of future health burdens attributable to urban environmental exposures affected by climate change mitigation (e.g., air pollution, green space) under detailed, policy-relevant scenarios developed through the CATALYSE project. The research will leverage a large dataset of 1000 cities developed through UBD Policy to explore in depth the implications of European climate policy on urban health using state-of-the-art health impact modelling methods.The researcher will be based in the research group of Research Professor, Cathryn Tonne, with co-supervision from other ISGlobal investigators with expertise in health impact assessment and climate science. The researcher would be embedded in an institutional working group focused on Climate Action and Health as well as the international, inter-disciplinary CATALYSE and UBD Policy consortiums, offering networking and training opportunities for early-career researchers.
