The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) has been awarded funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) in collaboration with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to host the Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) in Climate Change and Health Security.

HPRUs are joint research units that facilitate world-class research between UKHSA and leading UK universities in areas of applied health protection research that are directly relevant to the mission of UKHSA. They have a strong emphasis on research training and provide opportunities for students to undertake research degrees on highly topical issues that feed directly into national policy and public health response. Our HPRU also includes University College London (UCL) and the Met Office as partners. More information about our HPRU can be found on our website.

Successful candidates would start in Spring 2026. Please note candidates can only be accepted who are eligible for UK "home fees".
