We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to strengthen the PDPC Academy team. One of the Centre’s components is the PDPC Academy, which engages in knowledge transfer and education, has an academic workplace for short-term research projects, and carries out research on targeted interventions. The PDPC is based on the unique combination of world-renowned expertise on infectious diseases, climate research, research into floods and other water-related emergencies, empirical sociology, and crisis management. But how do we protect society from the next pandemic or disaster? Which of the lessons learnt could help develop prevention and intervention measures, and how could research contribute to preparedness? In the foreseeable future, our society can expect many more and unforeseen virus outbreaks and extreme events because of climate change. Convergence of the technical, medical and social sciences is essential for developing the next generation of approaches to disasters and pandemics. The PDPC aims to prepare society for future pandemics and disasters by carrying out research on how to build resilience through effective disaster prevention, preparedness and recovery measures. Erasmus MC, TU Delft and Erasmus University Rotterdam have joined forces in the Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Center ( PDPC).
