What We Are Looking for

ISGlobal is looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on the EIRENE PPP (Environmental Exposure Assessment Research Infrastructure Preparatory Phase Project). EIRENE PPP has received funding from Horizon Infrastructures. EIRENE was prioritised in the 2021 Update of the ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) Roadmap and fills an important gap in the European infrastructural landscape. It pioneers the first EU infrastructure on the human exposome (environmental determinants of health). EIRENE PPP aims to prepare the implementation of EIRENE RI as a consolidated European research infrastructure enabling the development of advanced technologies and complementary services on the characterization of complex environmental exposures and their impact on the European population. This will promote European excellence in Environmental & Health research by providing European researchers with transnational and/or virtual access to harmonised capacities, unique services, and comprehensive data addressing the current and future needs of public authorities. The researcher will be involved in all aspects of the project, including preparation of the Spanish hub of EIRENE, and leading analyses using EIRENE-related infrastructure, specifically linking the urban exposome to childhood obesity indicators using data from many European cohorts.
