Pathogenic Microbiomes, Socio-Urban Environments, and Health Inequalities: A Socio-Territorial Analysis of Urban Population Health
Explore the intersection of urban microbiomes, socio-environmental factors, and health disparities in urban populations.
Best for:Best for researchers with a background in microbiology, epidemiology, or public health, interested in interdisciplinary socio-territorial health analysis and urban health disparities.
Overview
This PhD position focuses on investigating how pathogenic microbiomes interact with socio-urban environments to influence health inequalities in urban settings. Conducted at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, the research aims to analyze the socio-territorial dimensions of health disparities, particularly in relation to urban microbiological exposure. The successful candidate will contribute to understanding how environmental and social factors shape health outcomes, with a particular emphasis on urban populations. The project involves interdisciplinary collaboration, combining microbiological, epidemiological, and socio-territorial methodologies to address critical public health challenges.
What you'll do
- Conduct research on the relationship between pathogenic microbiomes and socio-urban environments in urban populations.
- Analyze socio-territorial data to assess health inequalities and their determinants.
- Develop interdisciplinary methodologies combining microbiological, epidemiological, and socio-territorial approaches.
- Collaborate with researchers and stakeholders to design and implement health interventions targeting urban health disparities.
- Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present research outcomes at academic conferences.
- Contribute to policy discussions and recommendations aimed at improving urban public health.
