You will play a strategic role in shaping the department’s research agenda in this field, examining both direct (e.g. trauma, displacement) and indirect (e.g. eco-anxiety, climate-related stressors) of climate change on child mental health. You will have the opportunity to develop intervention strategies to improve mental health, particularly in low-resource settings, and translate research into actionable policy recommendations.
This post presents an exceptional opportunity to establish a foundational research program in an urgent and expanding field.

With a strong track record of securing competitive research funding and publishing influential research, you will have a clear vision for how to develop and expand the field of climate change and child mental health, both within Oxford and internationally.
