About this position

Utrecht University is advertising a Postdoc on Geodata Science and GeoAI within the Faculty of Geosciences, Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning, in the Health Geography group. The project focuses on applying geospatial data science, GIScience, and GeoAI to investigate health system resilience under polycrisis and to reduce health disparities.

The postdoctoral researcher will harmonize multi-source spatial data, develop reproducible spatial analytical and GeoAI pipelines, design scenario-based spatial models, and evaluate model performance, explainability, fairness, and robustness. The role also includes collaboration with health system experts and practitioners, participatory workshops, development of an interactive map-based web interface, publishing scientific articles, presenting at conferences, and contributing to supervision of MSc students.

Academic keywords: geodata science, GeoAI, GIScience, geoinformatics, spatial data science, spatial analytics, WebGIS, health geography, health inequality, health system resilience.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in GIScience, geoinformatics, spatial data science, spatial analytics, or a related field; experience with spatial analytical methods; strong Python and GitHub skills; experience with multi-source geospatial data such as network and satellite data; and experience in GIS and GeoAI model development and evaluation. Strong communication and academic writing skills are required, along with the ability to work independently and in interdisciplinary teams. Familiarity with Dutch data portals (PDOK, CBS), WebGIS development, participatory workshops, and serious games is an advantage.

Funding and terms: this is a paid postdoctoral position at 1.0 FTE for 12 months, with the possibility of extension to 22 months after positive evaluation. Salary ranges from €3,706 to €5,760 gross per month (scale 10, based on a 38-hour week), plus holiday pay, year-end bonus, pension, parental leave, flexible terms, and extra vacation days.
