Climate & Health Initiative
Climate change–driven hazards such as flooding, droughts, and environmental degradation are
increasingly amplifying the risk of mosquito-borne and water-borne infectious diseases.
We are expanding a Climate & Health initiative that integrates drone, satellite, climate, and
epidemiological data to support operational risk analysis and decision-making.
To strengthen this effort, we are recruiting talent in the following two domains.
Open Position①｜Epidemiology Specialist
■ Responsibilities
● Analyze relationships between climate/environmental drivers (rainfall, flooding, temperature, water
conditions) and infectious disease trends
● Design and review disease risk assessment frameworks (e.g., malaria)
● Support analytical design for field pilots, primarily in Africa
● Collaborate with AI and remote-sensing teams on indicator definition and validation
● Provide epidemiological input for reports to donors and public-sector partners
■ Required Skills
● Background in epidemiology, public health, or global health
● Practical experience or strong foundation in epidemiological/statistical analysis
● Japanese proficiency sufficient to collaborate with Japan-based technical teams
■ Preferred Skills
● Knowledge of the Climate & Health or One Health domain
● Experience working with international organizations and/or research projects
● Experience in data analysis using R, Python, or similar tools
● Experience contributing to projects that connect research outputs to operational, business, or policy use
Open Position②｜Climate Modeling Specialist
■ Responsibilities
● Support climate and environmental modeling related to rainfall, flooding, terrain, and hydrology
● Design environmental risk indicators using satellite and drone data
● Structure modeling outputs to link with infectious disease risk assessments
● Assist with scenario and sensitivity analyses for pilot regions
● Visualize results and collaborate closely with technical teams
