About this position
PhD opportunity at the University of Amsterdam on the intersection of climate change, urban studies, urban planning, public health, and pediatric respiratory health.
The project examines how meteorologic variables such as rising temperatures and heat risks affect the respiratory health of children in urban contexts. The research combines biomedical explanations of disease with urban political ecological perspectives that consider the socio-political conditions shaping environments, institutions, and individuals.
The PhD is part of the REACH project (SEVEN - University of Amsterdam) and involves working with Dr Vanessa Harris, Prof Maria Kaika, and Jannes Willems (Assistant Professor in Urban Planning).
This is a research-focused doctoral opening for candidates interested in urban health equity, climate impacts on children, environmental health, and the social dimensions of urban environments. The post does not mention a scholarship programme, tuition waiver, or specific funding amount in the provided text.
