Degree in Chemical Engineering or Chemistry or Biology, with a diploma thesis in chemical and / or bioinformatics techniques of biological systems. Experience in using biological systems modeling tools (e.G. Cytoscape) and / or bioinformatics (e.G. Panther, Bioconductor, Agilent Genesping), programming knowledge (R or Python or C ++ or Matlab)

The Environmental Health Engineering Research Team in IUSS consists of Prof. Sarigiannis and 4 PhD students working on salient aspects of sustainable development and the health impacts of climate and environmental change. The research team is expected to grow significantly with research associates and PhD students during the coming years based on funding coming primarily from the EU research programs Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. Our research projects focus on deciphering the link between environment, climate and human health through the use of the human exposome concept, urban health and the promotion of safe and sustainable by design chemicals, materials and products. The team is embedded in the CORDA (Complex Risk Data Analysis) research centre of IUSS, which is directed by Prof. Sarigiannis. CORDA comprises 5 IUSS professors and over 10 researchers and PhD students who work on advanced risk analysis methods including big data analytics for natural and technological hazards, the climate crisis and environmental and industrial chemicals. Prof. Sarigiannis and the Environmental Health Engineering research team also lead the IUSS Department of Excellence with particular emphasis on the line of work on complex hazards affecting critical infrastructures. The Environmental Health Engineering Research Team of IUSS is part of the EU partnerships on chemical risk assessment and human biomonitoring; it also leads the urban health cluster of the EU and EU research projects that tackle climate change and urban air pollution towards the development of win-win solutions that address the link between climate, environmental change and public health.
