Josephine Jackisch joined the Research Group Lifespan Inequalities in October 2024. Josephine is a social epidemiologist, with training in social sciences and social demography. Josephine’s research takes a life course approach and employs a wide range of quantitative methods to explore how we can better understand health inequalities. She is particularly interested in disentangling the mechanisms that drive the reproduction of disadvantage among the most vulnerable groups and contribute to the accumulation of disadvantage across life. She has completed a Postdoc at the Population Health Laboratory of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland and her PhD at the Centre for Health Equity Studies (Karolinska Institutet/ Stockholm University) in Sweden researching the role of childhood adversity for premature mortality and health inequalities.
Josephine holds a Bachelor and a Master degree in Public Health Sciences from Maastricht University and Linköping University and a Master in Social Sciences from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales. She has previously worked at the Charité-University Hospital Berlin as Coordinator of the Academic Office of the World Health Summit and in the WHO Regional office for Europe in the field of health policy for prevention of noncommunicable diseases and healthy ageing across the life course, with a particular interest within healthy and age-friendly cities and their attempts to increase health equity.
