As part of the ExcellenceS program, the Interdisciplinary Institute for Women’s Health at Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9 is launching a call for applications aimed at supporting the emergence of new scientific initiatives in women\u2019s health.<\/p>\n
This initiative fully aligns with Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9\u2019s mission statement: \u201cPlanetary health: healthy humans within healthy societies on a healthy planet\u201d, which places health challenges at the heart of societal and environmental transformations.<\/p>\n
The objectives of this call are to:<\/p>\n
The ExcellenceS support from the Interdisciplinary Institute for Women\u2019s Health is offered for a period of four years.<\/p>\n
The program is open to all researchers or faculty members who have held a PhD for more than five years, regardless of nationality, and who are working in France or abroad. Applicants may include researchers who already hold a permanent position.<\/p>\n
A total of one million euros will be awarded over 4 years, which can be allocated to salary, funding, or equipment. The salary for a laureate without a permanent position is included within this budget (depending on experience). If the candidate already holds a permanent position, the budget may be used to recruit supporting staff for their Chair (post-doc, engineer, etc.).<\/p>\n
Applicants must identify a host team within the scope of Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9 affiliated with iWISH (list in the annex), contact them prior to applying, and include in their application a letter of preliminary commitment from the head of the host team. The host team must provide the Chair holder with research facilities appropriate to the scope of the proposed project (installation costs will be borne by the host team) and ensure access to the site\u2019s technological platforms.<\/p>\n
The laureate agrees to assume their position no later than 9 months after notification by the Institute.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Environmental determinants play a major role in women\u2019s health throughout their lives. Environmental exposures can be highly diverse : chemical environment (pollutants, endocrine disruptors, etc.); physical environment (air quality, noise, climate, etc.); social environment (housing and working conditions, urban or rural settings, social networks, discrimination, etc.) \u2014 this list is not exhaustive. These factors can interact, producing additive or even multiplicative effects on health.<\/p>\n
Women may have specific vulnerabilities to these environmental exposures, related to their exposure trajectories, social or professional roles, and\/or physiological particularities. In addition, there are critical periods in a woman\u2019s life (puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, aging, etc.) during which exposure may affect them differently compared to men.<\/p>\n
Interactions among all these determinants remain insufficiently explored and conceptualized in an integrative manner.<\/p>\n
The aim of this Chair is to contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms linking environment and women\u2019s health, as well as to produce knowledge that can inform potential preventive actions. To achieve this, it is essential to employ innovative, diverse, and complementary disciplinary approaches. In this regard, the Chair is intended to strengthen or foster multidisciplinary collaborations within iWISH.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This Chair is part of the transversal axis \u201cEnvironment and Women\u2019s Health\u201d and will, by nature, be connected to the other thematic axes of the Institute. It will enable the development of ambitious and innovative multidisciplinary research, aiming to advance the integration of environmental determinants to better understand their influence on women\u2019s health at all stages of life.<\/p>\n Projects should adopt an integrated and multidimensional approach, addressing issues related to women\u2019s health, including gender dimensions, and ideally drawing on one or more of the following axes:<\/p>\n Environmental determinants of women\u2019s health<\/strong> Life-course and health trajectory approach<\/strong> Social and territorial health inequalities<\/strong> Public policies and prevention<\/strong> Projects may draw on approaches from, among others:<\/p>\n Interdisciplinary projects that demonstrate a genuine integration of multiple disciplines will be particularly valued.<\/p>\n The scientific, methodological, and organizational feasibility of the project must be clearly demonstrated, including team structure, planned partnerships, timeline, and resources to be mobilized.<\/p>\n A pedagogical or scientific outreach component related to the Chair\u2019s theme is not mandatory. However, a well-structured plan for knowledge dissemination, training, or engagement with society will be considered an important asset.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Projects will be evaluated by an independent scientific committee.<\/p>\n The selection process will take place in two stages: a preselection based on applications (September \/ October 2026), followed by interviews for the shortlisted candidates (October \/ November 2026).<\/p>\n The selection criteria will be as follows:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A confirmation email will be sent to each applicant upon receipt of their submission.
