Current vacancies

We are currently hiring for roles in our newly funded Centre. We will also be advertising for a number of research fellowships and PhD studentships in due course.



About the centre

We’re working to transform public and environmental health management and establish the first Urban Living Lab facility; a state-of-the-art digital water sensing platform, training base and ideas hub.


The Centre of Excellence in Water-Based Early-Warning Systems for Health Protection combines sensing, mathematical modelling, data analytics and informatics with epidemiology and public engagement tools to provide low-cost and real-time community-wide testing of population health and the environment.

We aim to provide a practical roadmap for a UK early-warning system platform, co-produced with regional and national stakeholders to serve as a sentinel and multigeneration testing site for research and innovation. This platform will enable testing of public health and environmental interventions focussed on increasing community resilience to disease, pollution and climate change impacts.

We will do this through:

  • Investing in bespoke research infrastructure
  • Investing in talent
  • Consolidating and expanding strategic relationships
  • Delivering research
  • Co-creating with health, environment and technology stakeholders
  • Engaging with the public
