About this position
North Carolina State University’s Natural Learning Initiative (NLI), based in the College of Design, is seeking a postdoctoral research scholar to advance the interdisciplinary field of biophilic nature-connected urbanism. The work examines how interconnected urban green infrastructure can integrate ecological systems with human development and create meaningful relationships with nature across the life course and across generations.
The research builds on NLI’s work in environment-and-behavior research, environmental measurement, professional development, evidence-based playful learning landscape design, universal co-design, and environmental quality assessment. A major focus is understanding how everyday settings—including homes, neighborhoods, childcare facilities, schools, parks, greenways, urban forests, campuses, workplaces, and civic landscapes—can function together as developmental green infrastructure.
The postdoctoral scholar may conduct literature reviews and research synthesis; develop conceptual frameworks, indicators, protocols, measures, and measurement tools; analyze environmental assessment, behavior-mapping, observational, survey, and post-occupancy datasets; and design pilot field investigations across sociocultural and physical environments. The role also explores ecological, spatial, experiential, developmental, and intergenerational dimensions of nature connectedness, with particular relevance to early-childhood facility naturalization and systems change.
In addition to research, the scholar will contribute to peer-reviewed publications, conference papers, research briefs, professional publications, grant proposals, and external funding efforts. Collaboration with NLI’s communications team may involve videos, animations, podcasts, diagrams, infographics, webinars, and other public-facing forms of research communication. The position offers opportunities to build collaborations across NC State and with national and international research and practice partners while helping define an emerging field connecting urban design, ecology, public health, human development, and nature-based solutions.
NC State is an R1 land-grant research institution located in Raleigh, North Carolina, within the Research Triangle. NLI advances research, design, professional development, and policy for environments that support healthy human development and a healthy biosphere.
Funding details
The anticipated hiring range is $60,000. The position includes employee benefits such as medical, dental, and vision coverage, retirement, leave, assistance programs, and other university benefits; eligibility depends on employment status and applicable plans.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent degree in landscape architecture, landscape/environmental design, urban design, urban planning, horticultural science, environmental psychology, environmental education, child development, public health, urban ecology, geography, sustainability science, or a closely related field, plus a prior degree in landscape architecture, architecture, urban design, landscape design, or a similar built-environment design field. Candidates must demonstrate independent and collaborative research ability, strong scholarly writing, analytical and communication skills, experience with quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and interest in human-environment relationships and translating research into design, practice, policy, and public communication. Preference may be given for publication experience, research synthesis, environmental assessment, observational research, behavior mapping, surveys, spatial analysis, GIS, statistical analysis, nature-connectedness or related research, assessment-tool development, field research, grant writing, proposal development, and audiovisual or public-facing research communication. The doctorate should have been awarded no more than five years before the initial postdoctoral appointment, and degree requirements must be completed before the start date. Applicants must provide a CV or resume, cover letter, and contact information for three professional references.
