Scholarly activity in this area seeks to identify and reduce health threats posed by climate change across the lifespan, advance equitable solutions that prioritize the needs of those who are most affected by climate change, and/or support communities to better prepare for future threats to their well-being. Given this multidisciplinary school-wide search, successful candidates may be appointed to any of the School’s six academic departments: Biostatistics, Community Health Sciences, Environmental Health, Epidemiology, Global Health, or Health Law, Policy & Management. Successful candidates will also be affiliated with the BUSPH Center for Climate and Health.
