Description

This fully funded NERC PhD studentship at The Open University focuses on exploring how access to nature impacts health and well-being, especially for minoritized community groups. The project builds on the 'Walking the Walk' research and aims to identify barriers and develop solutions for equitable access to green spaces, parks, and outdoor environments. The research will use mixed methods, including systematic reviews, semi-structured interviews, and co-development of new approaches with environmental scientists and community groups. The successful candidate will work closely with Professor Richard Holliman and a diverse team, engaging with community leaders, ecologists, and other stakeholders. Applicants should have a strong academic background relevant to environmental science, public health, or community research. The studentship covers tuition and provides a stipend. Application requires several forms and a CV with referees, and must be submitted by January 7, 2026. For enquiries, contact Professor Richard Holliman at The Open University.
