Adjunct Professor

Adjunct Professor in Environmental Toxicology and One Health
Bachelor in Environmental Sciences for Sustainability (BESS)
Campus : IE University – Segovia Schedule : 34 sessions (80 minutes each), twice a week in the afternoon (spring 2026, January to May)
Format : In-person
Fieldwork : One full-day field trip (6 sessions total)
Position Summary : IE University seeks an Adjunct Professor with strong expertise in Environmental Toxicology and the One Health framework to join the 3rd-year curriculum of the Bachelor in Environmental Sciences for Sustainability (BESS) at our Segovia campus .
This course prepares students to assess how environmental contaminants — both legacy and emerging — affect ecological and human health systems, using integrative scientific and policy approaches.
Students will be introduced to cutting-edge topics such as non-traditional stable isotope tracers (Mo, Cd, Cr), emerging contaminants (e.g., microplastics, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors), plastic pollution , and the growing risks associated with novel entities — pollutants whose behavior, persistence, and risks are not yet fully understood.
Teaching Commitment : Total : 34 sessions (80 minutes each)Two sessions per week , taught in the afternoons , in-personIncludes one mandatory full-day field trip , equivalent to 6 sessions , with a focus on pollution assessment and real-world One Health case analysisKey Teaching Themes : Fundamental principles of environmental toxicology and contaminant pathwaysThe One Health perspective : intersections between environmental, animal, and human healthNon-traditional stable isotopes (Mo, Cd, Cr) for contaminant tracingDifferentiating natural vs. anthropogenic contaminationEmerging contaminants and plastic pollution in aquatic and terrestrial systemsNovel entities and planetary boundaries : toxicological uncertainties in innovationRegulatory frameworks (EU REACH, WHO, Codex, EFSA) and the global health policy landscapeSocio-economic dimensions of exposure : vulnerability, inequality, and environmental justiceField trip : real-world data collection and community-centered problem solvingCandidate Profile : Ph.D.
