<p class="MsoNormal">We are seeking outstanding candidates for
one Post-Doc and 2 PhD positions in air pollution exposure
assessment and epidemiology at The University of British
Columbia (UBC) and Oregon State University (OSU) as part of a
major global epidemiologic study (PURE-AIR). The study
includes ~200,000 individuals in ~700 communities in ~20
countries and is examining the health impacts of household and
outdoor air pollution. If you know of any promising
candidates, please put them in touch with
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:michael.brauer@ubc.ca">Michael
Brauer</a> or <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The <b>PostDoc
</b>position is specifically focused on coordinating ambient
air monitoring and on modelling exposure using measurements
and satellite-based estimates developed by the project team.
Ideally, the person will be recruited via UBC although there
is some flexibility for a position at Oregon State if
circumstances require it. They should be willing to spend up
to 2 months in summer/fall 2015 at 1-2 field sites in low or
middle income countries establishing monitoring sites and
developing a protocol for future site establishment.
Familiarity with air monitoring instrumentation,
troubleshooting and strong organizational skills are
necessary. Experience working internationally, with large
datasets, and with epidemiologic analyses are also
desirable. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are seeking
a <b>PhD student at UBC
</b>to work on household air monitoring as part of the same
study. This work will involve organizing household
monitoring in low and middle income rural study communities
by implementation of previously developed measurement
protocol (samplers will be shipped to local study
coordinators for implementation of the protocol – data will
be returned to the study center at UBC for management and
processing), data management and analysis, estimation of
exposures and application in epidemiologic analyses of
chronic diseases (e.g. CVD, stroke, lung function, etc.).
Strong quantitative skills and an interest in the topic are
essential.

<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, we are seeking a <b>PhD
student at OSU </b>to work on modelling traffic-related air
pollution for all 700 PURE community sites, developing
protocols/questionnaires to assess traffic exposure in future
PURE follow-up activities, and conducting epidemiological
analyses of traffic-related exposure and chronic diseases
(e.g. CVD, stroke, lung function, etc.). Strong skills in GIS,
statistics, programming, and epidemiology are essential.<o:p></o:p></p>
