The working group Environmental Risks, at the Institute of Epidemiology, investigates the short
- and long-term adverse and beneficial health impacts of environmental factors, such as air pollution, meteorology, climate change, noise and green spaces in urban areas with a focus on cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in adults.

We are looking for a scientist (PostDoc) for the data analysis to determine the impact of heat, wildfire smoke and airtoxics on cardiovascular and pulmonary outcomes.

The project is funded by the U.S. Environmental Agency (U.S. EPA).
