Scientist - Environmental Health in Arid Regions

Hamad Bin Khalifa University; Doha; In loco; QAR 180.000 - 260.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar seeks a design lead for advanced environmental health studies focusing on the health effects of air pollutants in arid urban settings. You will apply epidemiology/toxicology methods to study exposures and health outcomes and collaborate across environmental science, public health, and clinical partners.

The role involves integrating chemical data with source apportionment, informing policy guidelines, and publishing findings in peer-reviewed journals while
