PhD Opportunity: Linking Air Pollution and Population Health Through Water-Based Epidemiology and Environmental Data Integration

Are you a motivated graduate in Chemistry, Environmental Science, or a related discipline with a passion for mass spectrometry, environmental monitoring, and population health?

Join our multidisciplinary team at the forefront of Chemical and Water-Based Epidemiology research and help develop innovative approaches to understand how air pollution affects human health. This exciting PhD project combines advanced analytical chemistry, environmental science, water-based epidemiology, and environmental data integration to generate actionable evidence for protecting public health.

About the Project

Air pollution remains one of the most significant environmental threats to human health worldwide. However, understanding how exposure translates into real-world health outcomes remains a major scientific challenge.

This PhD will explore how water-based epidemiology (WBE) and environmental monitoring data can be integrated to provide new insights into population exposure, disease burden, and health risks associated with air pollution. You will use advanced analytical techniques to identify and quantify chemical markers, develop data integration approaches, and contribute to evidence that can inform public health interventions and environmental policy.
