PhD Position in Political Geography, Health Geography, and Spatial Data Science at University of Connecticut

The Department of Geography, Sustainability, Community, and Urban Studies (GSCU) at the University of Connecticut is seeking a PhD student for an interdisciplinary research project. The project integrates political geography, health geography, and spatial data science to analyze how historical and contemporary U.S. laws, policies, and political boundaries influence local political processes and health outcomes. Research activities will include processing gerrymandered maps, examining election data, and linking these datasets to population-health indicators using geographic concepts and spatial analysis. Applicants should have a strong background in geography or related fields such as political science, public health, sociology, or social work. Essential skills include familiarity with U.S. federal datasets (e.g., Census, Election Data), experience managing large databases, basic visualization and programming skills in R, basic statistics, and strong communication skills in English. The position offers an opportunity to work closely with Professor Debarchana Ghosh at the University of Connecticut, a leading researcher in the field. Interested candidates should contact Professor Debarchana Ghosh at [email protected] with their CV. The application deadline is not specified.
