Context and Mission

The Barcelona Institute for Integral 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 organised 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; and Maternal, Child and Reproductive Health. ISGlobal is accredited with the Severo Ochoa distinction, a seal of excellence of the Spanish Science Ministry.

In the framework of our Centre for Excellence Severo Ochoa Programme (CEX2023‑001290‑S), we are recruiting a post‑doctoral researcher with strong quantitative analysis skills to join the Climate, Air Pollution, Nature and Urban Health research programme.



The work will use data from the Horizon Europe projects CATALYSE and UBD Policy, which provide new knowledge, data and tools to close the knowledge‑to‑action gap and to improve the estimation of health and socioeconomic costs of urban environmental hazards. The researcher will develop projections of future health burdens attributable to urban environmental exposures (e.g. air pollution, green space) under detailed, policy‑relevant scenarios. This will involve analysing a large dataset of 1,000 cities from the UBD Policy project and exploring the implications of European climate policy on urban health through state‑of‑the‑art health‑impact modelling methods.

The postdoctoral researcher will be based in the research group of Research Professor Cathryn Tonne, with co‑supervision by other ISGlobal investigators who specialise in health impact assessment and climate science. The researcher will be embedded in the institutional w
