The Lincoln Institute for Rural and Coastal Health is the country's first integrated and multidisciplinary research institute dedicated to rural and coastal health research. LIRCH has been awarded £10.9 million funding from Research England’s Expanding Excellence in England (E3) fund and is in the process of significant expansion.

Do you want to be part of a motivated, innovative and transdisciplinary team developing solutions to inequities driven by the place, space and pace of where people live? Do you want to work with world leading experts in health and social care, the geographies (human and physical), social and political sciences, design and innovation, and climate and environment to take on the most important challenges to rural and coastal health and wellbeing?

The Professor in Climate Change and Health will lead the LIRCH academic and technical team in investigating health outcomes accounting for the impacts of climate change and environmental inequalities experienced by rural, coastal, and remote communities. This includes understanding community and infrastructure readiness for the integration of place-led interventions.
