The epidemiology of ultrafine particles emitted from gas appliances

The Stanford Electrification for Health program, based at the Stanford Center for Human and Planetary Health (HPH), is pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral fellow interested in advancing interdisciplinary research and making an impact on human health and the environment. The mission of the new Electrification for Health program is to improve health through clean electric systems that reduce air pollution indoors and outdoors and meet people’s energy needs. 

Evidence of the health effects of ultrafine particulate matter (UFPM) are growing. The Stanford Medical School (the Luby lab), Doerr School of Sustainability (the Jackson lab), and School of Engineering (Boies lab) are hiring a full-time postdoctoral scientist to study the epidemiology of UFPM, including interactions with other gaseous pollutants from gas stoves and home appliances. The studies will build upon Stanford medical expertise with unique capabilities to quantify UFPM and other pollutants in hundreds of homes and buildings globally. The postdoc will contribute to policy-oriented research that will pave the way for both technical measurements and epidemiologic evidence and dose-response studies.

Required Qualifications: 
  • Recently completed PhD or other doctoral degree in a discipline related to indoor air quality.
  • Training in epidemiology, exposure modeling, and/or environmental health and toxicology preferred.
  • Experience working in interdisciplinary settings that combine multiple perspectives and disciplines.
  • Excellent oral and written English-language communication skills.
  • Highly motivated self-starter with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Experience securing funding for research is preferred. 
Required Application Materials: 
  • A statement of research describing research accomplishments, areas of interest, career goals, and relevant experience. (max 2 pages)
  • CV
  • Contact information for three references.
