About this position
This postdoctoral position at Utrecht University sits in the Health Geography group within the Faculty of Geosciences. The project combines geospatial data science and GeoAI to study how health systems can become more resilient under the rising pressure of polycrisis, with a strong focus on health inequalities and spatial disparities in care provision.
The successful candidate will work on integrating diverse spatial and qualitative data sources, building reproducible geospatial analytical workflows, and developing GeoAI-based models to investigate health system resilience. The role includes scenario-based spatial modelling for future risks, assessment of model performance, explainability, fairness and robustness, and the creation of an interactive map-based web interface for public access.
The project is explicitly interdisciplinary and involves close collaboration with health system experts, practitioners, and participatory workshops. It also includes dissemination through scientific publications, conference presentations, stakeholder events, and contribution to the supervision of MSc students.
The wider setting is Utrecht University’s Faculty of Geosciences, which brings together Earth sciences, human geography, physical geography, and sustainable development in a research environment focused on sustainability and innovation.

What's required
A PhD in GIScience, geoinformatics, spatial data science, spatial analytics, or a related field is required. Applicants should have experience with diverse spatial analytical methods, strong programming skills such as Python, version control such as GitHub, experience with multi-source geospatial data including network and satellite data, experience with GIS and GeoAI-related model development and evaluation, an interest in GIScience, health inequality and health system resilience, strong communication and academic writing skills, and the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams. Familiarity with Dutch data portals such as PDOK and CBS, WebGIS application development, and conducting participatory workshops and scenario-based games are considered advantages.
