The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) is a cutting-edge institute addressing general 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 five programs: 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.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
In the framework of our Centre for Excellence Severo Ochoa Programme (CEX2023-001290-S), ISGlobal is seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to work 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 postdoctoral researcher will be involved in the evaluation of tools and resources gathered in the International Human Exposome Network (IHEN) HEurope project ( , via demonstrator project
