The post doc is positioned at Occupational and Environmental Medicine within the Sound Research Unit . Our research is highly multidisciplinary and focuses on human response to sound and vibration and the impact on health including sleep, cognition, hearing, stress and cardiovascular outcomes. Our department has a strong tradition of epidemiological studies and we would like to strengthen this with this position. The research project will evaluate the impact of noise/sound and vibration from trains on health outcomes such as sleep, medication intake and cardiovascular illness using epidemiological methods. The project includes unique possibilities to derive exposure response functions of health and measured vibration exposures. The theoretical explanatory mechanisms include sociological, psychological and biological components.
Subject area
Environmental medicine and Epidemiology
Specific subject description
Epidemiological investigations into the impact on human health of sound and vibration exposure at home.
Job assignments
We are searching for a person who wants to pursue a carrier within environmental epidemiology and particularly within the impacts of vibration and noise on human health. Within our group you will be able to apply and deepen your epidemiological or statistical skills and evaluate associations taking physiological, psychological or sociological factors into account. Outcomes are measured with questionnaires and register based data. The results together with a literature review will be presented in scientific articles and reports.
Eligibility
To qualify as a postdoctoral researcher the applicant should hold a PhD in a relevant subject. Since postdoctoral constitutes a qualifying appointment for junior researchers, we aim to target those who have a doctoral degree not older than 3 years from the application deadline.
Assessment
Good publication record, notable epidemiological and/or statistical skills, good written and spoken English and preferably Swedish skills. Desirable skills are knowledge within sociology, psychology, biology or physiology. The successful candidate must be highly motivated and interested in the link between vibration/noise sleep and other health outcomes. Personal qualities such as the ability to work individually and within a team, attention to detail, precision and initiative-taking behavior are desirable.
Additional information
The application should include: CV, a personal letter, a copy of the PhD certificate, and names and contact information for two referees. Please apply online.
