**CERJ: Assistant Professor of Environmental Impact on Health**

**About the Centre for Environmental Research and Justice (CERJ)**

The University of Birmingham (UoB) is creating a new Centre that combines 21st century life science and law to make the environment safe from toxic chemicals and to defend people's rights to a healthful environment. Its mission is to help remedy harm to human health and to the environment caused by pollution. Since 2012, UoB has championed a solution called **_Precision Toxicology _**. _It is an emerging scientific approach to environmental health protection by establishing causation between chemicals and their adverse health effects. _Environmental justice is achieved by improving evidence-based governance interventions. Unlike traditional academic pursuits which oftentimes divide global problems into research silos, this transdisciplinary research centre will proactively uncover - and ultimately break - the chains of cause and effect that link chemicals to human suffering and environmental depredations.

CERJ offers a different approach to environmental research and health protection, by combining the natural sciences, law, and education. **SCIENCE **comprises systems biology, environmental chemistry, ecology, quantitative genetics, genomics, metabolomics, evolutionary theory, high-performance computing, artificial & human intelligence, clinical science, and toxicology to make fundamental discoveries that also help in the shift to a new approach to regulatory science. **LAW **captures our society’s values and is used as a mediating institution capable of engaging people competing in the private sector with the significant institutions of public life. Law can operationalize the Centre’s scientific knowledge in decision-making. It can also explore the ethical and societal implications and considerations of how precision toxicology and associated scientific domains will evolve and be applied in risk management. **EDUCATION **is necessary for lasting solutions based on a common understanding among our future leaders, in all sectors, who make strategic decisions based on scientific facts and a shared commitment to a healthful environment. The Centre will train the next generation of chemical risk assessors, environmental advocates, policymakers, and industry leaders in precision toxicology.

The University of Birmingham also has a strong record in leading the way around interdisciplinary education. CERJ and the staff allied to it will be able to contribute their breadth of knowledge across the breadth of degree programmes offered by the university and the Centre will act as hosts to UG research students.
