The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is one of the world’s leading public health universities. Our mission is to improve health and health equity in the UK and worldwide; working in partnership to achieve excellence in public and global health research, education and translation of knowledge into policy and practice.

We are seeking an early career researcher to take up a two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in Planetary Health, on a scheme run jointly by LSHTM’s Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health and Stanford University’s Center for Human and Planetary Health. The fellowship will focus on a topic of the Fellow’s own choosing related to planetary health, which aligns with the priorities of both Centres. 

This two-year Fellowship will give the researcher the freedom to pursue novel planetary health research, including topics such as climate change and the implications of land use change, environmental degradation and destruction, and the evaluation of policies and measures to assess these risks. Priority will be given to applications focusing on planetary health solutions (adaptation, mitigation or both). 

The post-holder must have a postgraduate degree, ideally a doctoral degree, in a relevant topic along with relevant experience in planetary health research. Further particulars are included in the job description. 

The post is full-time, 35 hours per week, 1.0 FTE and fixed-term from January 2026 until December 2027. The post is funded by the Peter Piot Fellowship Fund and the Centre for Climate Change and Planetary Health.

The salary will be on the LSHTM salary scale, Grade 6 in the range £45,097-£48,909 per annum (inclusive of London Weighting). The post will be subject to the LSHTM terms and conditions of service.  Annual leave entitlement is 30 working days per year, pro rata for part-time staff. In addition to this there are discretionary “Wellbeing Days”. Membership of the Pension Scheme is available. The post is based in London at LSHTM.
