This position addresses the growing challenges to human health stemming from the pressures of continuous climate change, environmental degradation, pollution, resource scarcity, and global interconnectedness.

While taking a global perspective, the candidate is also expected to demonstrate the ability to ground their research in national, regional, or local contexts.

The ideal candidate will bring a proven interdisciplinary background, evidenced by collaborations across the environmental and social sciences, to inform evidence-based policy and sustainable solutions.

This professorship is part of LCSES’s commitment to advancing socio-environmental research and generating actionable knowledge at the intersection of human health and global environmental change. The appointed professor will join an intellectually vibrant and interdisciplinary environment, working closely with colleagues focused on health and well-being across the University. They will play a vital role in shaping evidence-informed health strategies for a more resilient and sustainable future.
