Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Health (CCEH) is a multidisciplinary research centre dedicated to understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change on the environment and human health. The key objective is to investigate the driving mechanisms and develop effective solutions to safeguard ecosystem and human health in Southeast Asia. CCEH brings together leading experts in climate science, environmental engineering, and public health to tackle the region’s most pressing climate–health challenges through cutting-edge research, advanced modelling, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through its integrative approach, CCEH aims to translate scientific insights into actionable strategies that promote sustainability, resilience, and well-being for current and future generations.
We are looking for a Research Fellow to develop and apply advanced modelling frameworks to investigate the impacts of climate and environmental changes on vector-borne diseases. The role will focus on designing and implementing vector population and disease transmission models, integrating climate and environmental datasets for projections and downscaling, and simulating disease risks under different climate change and emission scenarios. The role also involves analyzing model outputs to assess spatial and temporal patterns of vector-borne disease burdens, with a focus on Southeast Asia. The position requires documenting findings in technical reports and disseminating results through publications in peer-reviewed international journals.
Key Responsibilities:
To develop and implement vector population and disease transmission models under varying climate and environmental conditions.
To integrate climate projection and downscaling models with epidemiological frameworks for vector-borne diseases.
To apply the developed models to assess disease risks under different climate change and emission scenarios.
To analyze model outputs to quantify spatial and temporal patterns of vector-borne disease burdens.
To document findings in technical reports and disseminate results through publications in peer-reviewed international journals.
Job Requirements:
PhD degree in atmospheric science/public health/meteorology/environment or related field
At least one years of relevant experiences in technical hands-on experience in development of disease transmission models
Good written and oral communication skills
Proficiency in Python/R
A candidate with recent publications in relevant areas within the past 5 years is advantageous
