The Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health welcomes applications and nominations for a Professor and Director of the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE). Within a leading, worldwide program of research and education, the Consortium’s mission is to ensure that all health professionals throughout the world – including clinical doctors, nurses, and public health leaders and practitioners – will be trained to prevent, reduce, and respond to the health impacts of climate change. Tackling climate-health challenges in the 21st Century and translating science into education and practice is highly dependent on collaborative work across many fields, and the Consortium is poised to lead health professionals, practicing in the reality of climate change, to meet health systems needs and engage in interdisciplinary science education, communication, and leadership.
