Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships
Interdisciplinary Air Pollution & Health Research
Closing date: Friday 31 January 2014

The Centre for Air quality and health Research and evaluation (CAR) is based at a network of Universities and research institutes in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The Centre for Research Excellence is funded by the NHMRC (2012 to 2016) to support research training and research translation in the interdisciplinary field of air pollution and health. Fields of research broadly encompass methodological advances in the study of air pollutants, longer and short term health outcomes, the biological basis of adverse human effects and the effects on vulnerable populations.

Applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships are now open. These fellowships are for those interested in a career in air pollution research. Candidates may come from a variety of relevant backgrounds but we are particularly interested in individuals who can work in one of the following fields:

Air pollution exposure statistical modelling

Knowledge translation in relation to air quality and health policy

Human toxicology in relation to health effects of air pollutants

Successful applicants will be expected to contribute the general mission of CAR in research training and research translation.

Applicants for full-time or part-time funding will be considered.

You must have submitted your PhD in order to be eligible to apply and have your PhD passed before you commence the postdoctoral fellowship. If you are unsure if you are eligible please contact the Executive Officer for details.
