Résumé du poste

St Johns Research Institute (SJRI) in Bengaluru invites applications for a research-focused role addressing climate-change related health burdens. The position emphasizes developing India-specific exposure–risk functions, analyzing dietary impacts, and creating dashboards using R or Python.

The candidate should hold MSc/PhD in Statistics or Biostatistics, be around 40 years old, and have at least 3 years of experience, with proficiency in English and Kannada.

Qualifications

• MSc/PhD in Statistics or Biostatistics required.
• Age 40 years.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience.
• Proficiency in English and Kannada.

Responsabilités

• Development India-specific exposure-risk functions for climate hazards to prioritize climate actions.
• Identification of protective effects of changes in dietary patterns for climate-induced health impacts
• Programming in R (or Python or any related language) to mathematically infer underlying relationships in health datasets.
• Check for data inconsistencies programmatically using regular expressions. Additionally, compensate statistically for missing data.
• Create meaningful plots in R (or Python or any related language) to demonstrate dependent and independent variables and summarizing statistical results in clear and concise dashboards.
• Prepare draft reports/papers based on the data analysis.

Description du poste

Job Summary

The study is conceptualized to address some of the knowledge gaps and come up with a comprehensive assessment of climate change related health burden for near future. The broad objective is to provide evidence for strategizing climate actions and protect the health of the Indian population from climate stressors. This study will develop downscaled emission-tagged exposure data for climate hazards (various air pollutants, heat and other weather extremes) for the past and future in India. It will elucidate the changes in exposure to air pollution, heat, and weather extremes due to climate variability and feedback. Important targets are to develop India-specific exposure-risk functions for climate hazards to prioritize climate actions; assess health benefits and trade-offs for various climate actions, targeting energy and non-energy sectors; identify protective effects of green and blue space, changes in dietary patterns, and phytochemicals for climate-induced health impacts; assess and prioritize adaptation strategies to mitigate climate-induced health risks and estimate the economic burden of climate-induced health risks in India.
