Research Associate (Climate Change and Environmental Health) Full-time

Research Associate In Climate Change And Environmental Health

The Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Health (CCEH) at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore invites applications for the position of the Research Associate in Climate Change and Environmental Health.

The Air Pollution and Health team's research of Prof. Steve Yim focuses on the interactions between climate and air quality, and the resultant impacts on public health and the ecosystem. The team's ongoing research is to develop, advance, and utilize state-of-the-art multi-scale atmospheric models, along with measurement and statistical approaches, to understand the mechanisms that drive climate-air quality interactions, and evaluate the impacts on human exposure, mosquito abundance, and soil acidity.

Particular interests are in investigating air quality impacts of sectoral emissions and transboundary air pollution at multiple spatial scales, studying regional climate change due to land-use changes and global climate changes, and evaluating and quantifying the effects of air pollution on respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The team also assesses and develops emission control scenarios to provide scientific-based policy solutions for a sustainable environment in the present and future years.

The Research Associate will be required to develop a regional climate and air quality model to generate a 5-dimensional simulated regional climate and air quality data set for Southeast Asia for present and future and create a database of climate and air quality exposure assessment for present and future. The position must document the results of the aforementioned tasks in reports and publish papers in peer-review international journals.

Key Responsibilities:

• To implement regional climate and air quality simulations for present and future years.
• To create a database of climate and air quality exposure assessments for present and future years.
• To analyze the model results of climate and air quality exposures under different current and future climate scenarios.
• To document the results of the aforementioned tasks in reports and peer-review international journals.

Job Requirements:

• At least a master's degree in atmospheric science/geography/meteorology/environment or equivalent field.
• Have experience in the development of regional climate and air quality models, and also the big data analysis.
• Good communication for stakeholder engagement and writing skills for reports and publications.
• Evidence of being able to work independently in their research and collaboratively, with a strong team spirit.
• Candidates with recent publications in relevant areas within the past 5 years are advantageous.

We regret to inform you that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
