Postdoctoral Associate, Center for Climate Change and Health Equity

Overview

The Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health (EEH) invites applications for three Postdoctoral Associate positions to join our dynamic team of faculty and staff in the Center for Climate Change and Health Equity (CCCHE).

Position 1

Working with Dr. Shelby Yamamoto, EEH Associate Professor, CCCHE, the Postdoctoral Associate will work on research projects focused on climate change, air pollution, and other environmental exposures in relation to aging, social inequities, and health. Research related to climate change mitigation and adaptation will also be supported.

Position 2

Working with Dr. Mark M. Janko, EEH Assistant Professor, CCCHE, the Postdoctoral Associate will conduct research on the health impacts of climate change, with a focus on vector-borne diseases in the Amazon and Congo Basins. The research will involve developing historical and future climate scenarios—including counterfactuals—and integrating them with health surveillance and related data to estimate climate-attributable risk under Deep Uncertainty.

Position 3

Working with Dr. Kelly Baker, EEH Associate Professor, CCCHE, the Postdoctoral Associate will work on research integrating One Health concepts and evaluation approaches into urban climate resiliency initiatives in the US and globally. We are interested in candidates from a variety of backgrounds in climate and One Health.

Successful candidates should possess expertise in statistical programming languages such as SAS, Stata and/or R.
