- One (1) post in the field of “Public Health”
- One (1) post in the field of “Bioethics in Public Health”
Description: Two PhD positions are available at the Cardiovascular Epidemiology and Genetics Research Lab. The first position is announced under the framework of arterial health and ageing, both at the population level but also at specific disease groups, such as familial hyperlipidemias. The successful candidate will be trained in epidemiological study design and logistics and in the execution of arterial stiffness measurement protocols. They will also have the opportunity of participating in the coordination and research team of the Cyprus Registry for patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.
The second position will attempt to cover the ethical dilemmas posed by the use of Big data in health in digital disease detection and epidemic investigations
Required Qualifications: Applicants must hold a BSc degree in Health Sciences/social sciences and an MSc degree in a relevant field.
Very good knowledge of both the Greek and English language is a requirement, as well as ease of use of statistical programs. Any work or research experience will be considered additionally.
Funding: Funding opportunities will be available from internal and external grants based on qualifications and availability

- One (1) post in the field of “Environmental Health”
Description: One (1) PhD position is available in the research group of the Water and Health Laboratory of the Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health at the Cyprus University of Technology. The successful candidate will be trained on key thematic concepts of the human exposome, i.e. the holistic representation of all those environmental, dietary, lifestyle/behavioral factors that relate to the development of chronic diseases with special emphasis on hormonal cancers or endocrine disorders. The PhD student will apply the framework of the exposome and related exposomic tools (metabolomics) in either an observational or experimental setting. The study of all human exposures to harmful agents found in water, air, diet or behavioral/lifestyle habits and their health effects requires the combined use of novel human biomonitoring and biostatistical methods. The successful candidate will be trained on the use of either state-of-the-art human biomonitoring protocols, personal sensors or novel processing bioinformatics platforms (e.g. metabolomics) for better understanding of the disease process.
Our laboratory is equipped with advanced mass spectrometers to conduct specialized analyses in human biospecimen and it is located in the old town of Limassol, just minutes away from the cosmopolitan Mediterranean seafront. The Cyprus University of Technology has been included among the Top 300-350 best universities in the world, based on the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2019.
Required Qualifications: Highly motivated candidates should possess a Bachelor and/or Master in Life Sciences or Physical Sciences or in a related discipline.
Funding: The successful candidate will be offered financial support, depending on skills and funding availability.
