.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.LugarBarcelona, Campus MarWHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORIn the framework of our Centre for Excellence Severo Ochoa Programme (CEX2023-001290-S), ISGlobal is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to reinforce exposome research at ISGlobal, in particular focused on the integration of (multi-)omics approaches in exposome studies across the life course. Using the exposome as an overarching framework, the postdoctoral researcher will carry out epidemiological studies to investigate the biomarkers and molecular mechanisms characterising the effects of a range of environmental risk factors (lifestyle, air pollution, chemical toxins, microplastics, urban factors, climate and climate change induced hazards) on health trajectories in childhood and adulthood. Prospective cohort studies, set up as part of our international projects, will be used as the basis for in-depth molecular studies (e.G. metabolome, proteome, microbiome, epigenome, immunome). Unique data resources in European birth, child and adult cohorts are available for this work. The researcher will be based in the research group of Professor Martine Vrijheid, with co-supervision from other ISGlobal investigators with expertise in exposome research.TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE /QUALIFICATIONSEducated to doctoral level in epidemiology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, or related topics.Experience in managing and analysing epidemiological data, with experience in environmental epidemiology an asset.Experience in molecular epidemiology an asset, specifically related to immunology, microbiome, metabolome data.Experience in complex statistical analyses, with proficiency in R software.Excellent command of the English language and good writing skills.KEY RESPONSIBILITIESDevelop research projects using the exposome datasets from several exposome-related cohorts spanning the life course, specifically with focus on biomarkers and molecular mechanisms characterising the effects of a range of environmental risk factors on health.Analyses linking exposome and omics data with health outcomes.Writing scientific papers documenting the results
