PhD Positions in Housing Inequality and GIS Analysis (HOU-EQUAL Project) University of Amsterdam in Netherlands

Two PhD positions are open in the HOU-EQUAL project, led by an Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam. The project is titled “How housing reshapes inequalities across societies” and will start in September as part of a Vidi-funded research programme.

The research is centered on housing inequality, GIS analysis, and the ways housing systems shape socio-economic inequalities across societies. HOU-EQUAL takes a big-picture, interdisciplinary approach to understanding how housing can act either as an equalizing force or as a driver of inequality, depending on the institutional, political, economic, and cultural context. The project examines both macro-level dynamics across a wide range of national and urban settings and micro-level outcomes in five contrasting cases: the Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, Spain, and Japan.

One PhD focuses on macro-level dynamics, while the other centers on micro-level dynamics. This makes the opportunity especially relevant for candidates interested in housing systems, urban inequality, comparative social science, spatial analysis, and policy-relevant research.

The post does not mention funding specifics, tuition coverage, or a deadline. Interested candidates should use the provided links for the two PhD tracks and review the detailed application information there.
