Postdoctoral Research Associate: Climate-Related Diseases and Disparities
4 months ago
The Environmental Institute (EI) at the University of Virginia (UVA) is seeking a postdoctoral Research Associate to join its Climate Fellows Postdoc Program. The selected candidate will work with an interdisciplinary team of faculty mentors and researchers to realize the goals of a project i nvestigating the u nderlying c auses of c limate- r elated d iseases and d isparities in Virginia.
This research investigates racial, ethnic, and gender differences in health responses to climate factors. Utilizing patient-level information, including data from the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, state agencies, and U.S. Census Data, the project aims to uncover underlying factors contributing to health disparities in the face of climate challenges, such as extreme heat exposure.
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will address key questions related to disease patterns, economic differences, and healthcare quality. Findings will inform targeted public health messaging and advance understanding of population responses to climate extremes, aiding preparation for future climate-related contingencies.
