About this position
Fully funded PhD opportunity: Beyond Cooling explores how climate-robust urban environments can better protect people from extreme heat and heat-related health risks in the UK.
The project examines urban heat exposure and climate adaptation through a combination of remote sensing, GIS and spatial analysis. It will also investigate human mobility and heat exposure, heat-related health risks and inequalities, and the role of urban green and blue spaces under future climate scenarios.
The research is hosted at the University of Leeds through the Yorkshire Environmental Sciences Doctoral Training Network (YES•DTN). The supervisory team comprises Yuchen Li, Cathryn Birch and Ed Manley, bringing together expertise relevant to urban data science, spatial research, climate resilience and heat-health protection.
The project is suited to applicants interested in Geography, Environmental Science, Climate Science, GIS, Urban Planning, Transportation Science, Public Health, Epidemiology and related fields. The PhD is scheduled to start in October 2027.
