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.

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.
