Post-Doctoral position / Epidemiology - Biostatistics

Post Date
7/2/2024

Expiration Date
8/31/2024

Details:
The team of Environmental Epidemiology at the Inserm IAB research center in Grenoble is seeking to
welcome a post-doctoral researcher. We are looking for applicants interested in working on
epidemiological studies aimed at characterizing the health effects of chemicals with widespread
exposure in the general population.

The position is part of the EU-funded ENDOMIX project (https://endomix.eu ). The specific objectives
of the position are to: 1) test whether early exposure to chemicals (phenols, phthalates, PFAS,
pesticides, etc.) can disturb immune function during pregnancy and early infancy, and 2) determine if
the effects of these chemicals on child health can be mediated by the disruption of immune function.
We will rely on the SEPAGES cohort (https://cohorte-sepages.fr/en). Biomarkers of exposure have
been measured in maternal blood or urine collected during pregnancy, while cytokines have been
measured in maternal and infant serum. The effects of both individual chemicals and mixtures will be
investigated using state-of-the-art statistical models.
