Geohealth is the integration of geographic information, technologies and spatial concepts with epidemiology. During the COVID19 pandemic we have seen the importance geospatial technologies and geographic data play in monitoring the distribution and diffusion of the outbreak. We are particularly interested in leveraging diverse data sources to understand changing risks of health and disease both across space and time. As part of this we need to develop methods and tools that can be effectively integrated into a framework that enhances decision-making processes and provides sustainable solutions.
Your role is to develop methods, processes and openly accessible tools that will allow us to assess dynamically changing risks of health and disease across space and time. Although some of the work will start with covid19, other disease systems will be examined that consider environment-host-pathogen interactions and may include but are not limited to vector-borne diseases and vaccine-preventable diseases. To ensure transfer and use of these methods and tools, you will also be expected to create engaging and interactive educational resources that can be embedded into the Geohealth curriculum and design experiments that will allow us to quantify the impact of these tools and education materials.
You have:
We offer you an inspiring multidisciplinary and challenging international and academic environment. The university offers a dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues in which internationalization is an important part of the strategic agenda.
You will be employed for 3 years. Salary and conditions will be in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement (CAO-NU) of the Dutch Universities.
The Department of Earth Observation Sciences combines earth observation science knowledge with spatial modelling and advanced remote sensing to understand spatial distribution of disease across space and time. Our education and research contribute to the development of quality educational resources and tools that can be used to understand changing risks and direct policies that can lead to improvement of the health and wellbeing of the population.
