.DescripciónThe 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, lifestyle, and climate determinants, and applies a multidisciplinary scientific approach ranging from the molecular to the population level. Research is organized in five programmes: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.The Environment and Health over the Lifecourse research programme aims to conduct high-quality integrative research to expand knowledge on the causes and mechanisms of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Work in the programme ranges from local to national and global efforts in high and low-and-middle income countries, with international leadership in areas such as exposome, radiation, child health, cancer, and respiratory health research. ISGlobal is accredited with the Severo Ochoa distinction, a seal of excellence of the Spanish Science Ministry.WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWe are seeking applicants for two full-time tenure-track assistant research professor positions in the field of non-communicable disease (NCD) epidemiology. Applications are invited from dynamic researchers with experience in NCD epidemiology and demonstrated excellence and intellectual leadership. The researcher is expected to develop a research group within the Environment and Health over the Lifecourse Programme. The researcher should develop high-quality research to expand knowledge on the causes and mechanisms of NCDs development or progression, in populations in high and low-medium income countries, with the ultimate goal to inform, improve, and promote interventions and policies for prevention of NCDs. Experience in the following areas will be an asset: respiratory health; cancer; circadian disruption; cognition and aging-related diseases, in relation to environmental risk factors.TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE / QUALIFICATIONSCandidates must have:a PhD; at least 5 years of accredited postdoctoral experience; a record of peer review publications; demonstrate potential for obtaining external research funding; experience in training early career researchers will be an asset.KEY RESPONSABILITIESDevelop a research group within the Environment and Health over the Lifecourse Programme at ISGlobal; Collaborate across ISGlobal research programs; Publish scholarly work; Obtain grant funding to support research; Teach at the masters and doctorate level; Participate in advancing the strategic goals of ISGlobal in policy translation and innovation.SKILLSLeadership; Teamwork;Problem resolution; Ability to apply for competitive grants at EU (Horizon Europe, ERC...) and NIH level
