  • Inform targeted public health messaging and advance understanding of population responses to climate extremes
Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in a relevant field
  • Experience working on topics in human biometeorology and bioclimatology
  • Comfortable with basic statistical modeling and experience in statistical climatology or biostatistics and epidemiology
  • Experience working with climate data and health datasets
  • Competent in analyzing spatial data fields
  • Demonstrated expertise in data management
What We Offer:
  • Starting salary: $65,000/year
  • Research funds: $5,000/year
  • Professional training, technical support, and computational infrastructure tailored to the project
  • Direct mentoring from at least two UVA faculty members in different disciplines

The University of Virginia is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We believe diversity is excellence expressing itself through every person's perspectives and lived experiences. We are committed to our mission to support interdisciplinary research and training that is both great and good at the intersection of climate change and human well-being.
