Research Opportunities

The Stringhini Lab is accepting MSc and PhD enquiries

We are looking for students with a solid background in epidemiology and quantitative methods, and welcome enquiries in the following areas:

  • social and environmental determinants of ageing trajectories, using longitudinal cohort data
  • environmental and social pathways to biological ageing, using epigenetic and multi-omic data
  • early-life environmental exposures (wildfire smoke, air pollution, heavy metals) and their social patterning
  • quasi-experimental evaluation of policy changes on inequalities in health.

Applicants should have formal training in epidemiology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative discipline, and be comfortable working with large longitudinal datasets. Familiarity with causal inference, mediation, or quasi-experimental methods, and proficiency in R or Python, are strong assets. Interest in life-course and biological-embedding frameworks is important. Enquiries should include a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and an indication of which project area is the best fit.

Please see our Research page for current projects in our research group and our Selected Publications page for research examples.
