Trinity College Dublin - an introduction
Post Summary The Climate and Health Research Group is a recently formed interdisciplinary group, located in the Discipline of Public Health and Primary Care in the School of Medicine. Research is focused on quantifying the health impacts of climate change across the EU and Africa. It is funded by the Wellcome Trust and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Understanding, monitoring and responding to the climate crisis, relies on a robust evidence base of the extent and manner to which climate change is affecting human health. The group leadership has a strong track record in highlighting the growing health, and socio-economic consequences of climate inaction, providing a baseline for long term monitoring, and marking a step-change in climate change communication and providing evidence to inform policy development in Ireland and globally. The Climate and Health Research group seeks to appoint an experienced Postdoctoral researcher in Biostatistics to build a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in tracking climate exposure-health response functions; establishing processes for long-term sustainability of analyses that work towards near ‘’real time’’ data analytics; and setting the stage for Ireland to take its place in the global discourse on health and climate change. This role will be funded through the EPA CHI study “Establishing long-term systems for monitoring the impacts of Climate change on Health in Ireland”.
