Are you an ambitious researcher with experience in spatial inequality? Do you want to address key questions currently facing urban science and society? Do you want to develop your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive universities?
We seek a Research Fellow in Spatial Inequality with experience of inequalities and spatial methods to support the delivery of an exciting new ESRC-funded research project, “Green AWARE: Greenspace Accessibility, Wellbeing, and Resident Equality”.
Working with the project lead Dr Vikki Houlden in the School of Geography and co-lead Dr Anna Barker in the School of Law, you will be conducting novel socio-spatial research to develop new understanding of inequalities in access to greenspace, and propose ways in which greenspace can be designed and managed to reduce socio-demographic access inequalities, overcome social and cultural barriers to use, and promote wellbeing. Key tasks will include reviewing research evidence, supporting survey design, data entry and integration, conducting focus groups, statistical analysis and spatial modelling of surveys, and delivering impactful outputs for academic and practitioner audiences. For full details of the project plans, role details, or to discuss your suitability for the role, please feel free to contact Dr Vikki Houlden (v.houlden@leeds.ac.uk).
