PhD fellowship in climate and health epidemiology

Doctorat / PhD Profil chercheur : First Stage Researcher (R1) Type de contrat : Temporary Date limite de candidature : 15 Nov 2026 - 23:59 (Europe/Copenhagen) Date de début : 1 Jan 2027 Programme UE : Other EU programme Référence : U-PATH Département : Danish Cancer Institute Domaine : Environmental science » Other

We are seeking a PhD student to work on a large EU-funded consortium project, Understanding and Preventing Climate-Related Health Risks through Mediating Pathways (U-PATH) . Europe is the fastest-warming continent, yet evidence that separates direct heat effects from effects mediated by other environmental exposures, such as air pollution, aeroallergens, noise, and indoor overheating, is still lacking. U-PATH brings together 15 international research institutions to investigate how climate exposures relate to cardiovascular and respiratory disease, with a particular focus on the mediating role of environmental exposures. The Work, Environment and Cancer group’s main tasks in U-PATH include: coordinating the harmonization of epidemiological data from cohorts in five countries contributing data and analyses from a Danish nationwide cohort conducting measurement campaigns of indoor summer temperatures, which will be used to develop a model for indoor heat exposure assessment coordinating analyses of associations between long-term residential indoor and outdoor heat events and risk of cardiovascular and respiratory disease across the cohorts The Work, Environment and Cancer research group is a dynamic multi-national team of researchers dedicated to studying the effects of environmental and occupational exposures on the development of cancer and other diseases.
