Post-Doctoral Scholar in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences and Climate Change
Posted: 11/24/2019 (Employment)
The Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences (DEOHS) at the University of Washington (UW) School of Public Health, in conjunction with the Climate Impacts Group (CIG) at the UW College of the Environment and the UW Center for Health and the Global Environment (CHanGE) seek an outstanding Post-Doctoral Scholar to assist in developing a cumulative impact analysis (CIA) to designate communities highly impacted by fossil fuel pollution and climate change in Washington State. This work will require both using climate model outputs to evaluate population impacts (including but not limited to health impacts) as well as health impacts assessment of fossil fuel pollution in the state; it represents a unique opportunity to work across the fields of public health and climate change, with access to leading experts in DEOHS, the CIG, and CHanGE. While the position will be housed under DEOHS, extensive cross-disciplinary interaction is anticipated. This effort is also an opportunity to conduct research in support of public policy objectives by collaborating with the Washington State Department of Health to implement the CIA provisions (section 24) of the Clean Energy Transformation Act.
