At the Chair of ?Model-based Environmental Exposure Science“ (MBEES, http://mbees.med.uni-augsburg.de/) at the Faculty of 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】icine we focus on links and interactions between environmental factors and human health, and understanding its physical underpinnings. We detect links through a combination of environmental simulation and clinical evidence and use scenario modelling to assess future developments. We provide guidance on how to reduce detrimental and enhance positive effects of environmental exposure on health to various stakeholders. Exposure research is therefore at the nexus of medicine, computational and environmental science.

Our research includes the description of exposure on the urban scale, to determine total population exposure in unprecedented detail. Instrumental to this effort is the use and development of model systems to represent trace gases and airborne particles. For our research in the domain of urban-scale air quality modelling we are looking for a

postdoctoral fellow (m/f/d) or academic councilor (m/f/d)
