About this position
Albert Salas-Huetos and the research group at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) are seeking PhD students to join an international and multidisciplinary research environment in reproductive, maternal and child health.
The group investigates how nutrition influences reproductive health and fertility, including dietary patterns and nutritional biomarkers relevant to male and female reproductive outcomes. A second research line examines early-life health and development, including maternal and paternal nutrition, prenatal exposures, and the developmental origins of health and disease.
PhD projects may also address the exposome and environmental health, with a focus on endocrine-disrupting chemicals and other environmental exposures and their potential implications for reproductive and long-term health. The team conducts population-based cohort research, longitudinal studies, epidemiological analyses and clinical intervention studies.
Students will be able to contribute to innovative research with implications for reproductive health, maternal and child health, and public health. The group is affiliated with Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Institut de Recerca Biomèdica Catalunya Sud, and CIBERobn.
