Two PhD positions, Department of Geography, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany
Two PhD positions (42 months, starting Nov 2017) – in connection with the junior research group ‘Environmental-health Interactions in Cities' (GreenEquityHEALTH) – Challenges for Human Well-being under Global Changes’ funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) led by Dr. Nadja Kabisch.
One PhD with a background in geoinformatics (Index No: DR/107/17) or similar should assess urban land‐use intensity and relate this to plant traits to deviate potential influences of certain environmental pressure and stress from climate change and urbanisation. Pressure such as high temperatures, soil sealing, air pollution or changes and disturbances in urban vegetation patterns with potential effects on human health and well-being should be detected with remote sensing time series data and on-site sensor based measurements.
The second PhD with a background in social science and/or public health (Index No: DR/108/17) is in charge of field surveys to measure health on-site including perception studies via questionnaire surveys and health measurements to assess the potential of urban green spaces for improving health of city residents in the context of urbanization and climate change.
The positions are for 42 months and are based at the Department of Geography, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in the Landscape Ecology Lab.
The deadline for the application is September 20. For more information, please see pdfs attached and refer to the index number and the full ad in your application available at:

PhD opportunity at Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition related to the 20 - minute neighbourhood- Melbourne and Canberra Project.
Opportunities exist within Deakin University’s Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN) to undertake a PhD related to an Australian Research Council (ARC) funded project. The project will assess the projected lifestyle benefits associated with the 20-minute neighbourhood. A 20-minute neighbourhood is one where everyday destinations are easily accessible. This ARC project will compare the location and type of food and physical activity behaviours undertaken by residents of existing 20-minute neighbourhoods with the type and location of behaviours undertaken by residents living outside 20-minute neighbourhoods.

EPA postdoctoral position
The US Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development has just advertised a new EPA postdoctoral position. The application period closes 29 January 2016.
Climate change has the potential to impact air quality resulting in important consequences for human health. Climate change will likely have a disproportionate effect on particular geographic locations, communities, and demographic groups. Air pollution exposure patterns in the future will differ from current exposure patterns due to a number of factors including changes in temperature, ambient air pollutant concentrations, population distribution, housing and land use, and human activity patterns. Research is needed to explore the various factors that may contribute to altered air pollutant exposure patterns due to climate change in support of the Air, Climate, and Energy (ACE) program. This project will examine the effects of climate change on extreme events (e.g., stagnation events, wildfires) that impact air quality as well as the effects of climate change on human or population behaviors that impact exposure. These outcomes can then be used to quantify the health impacts of climate change that result from changes in air pollution exposures.
More information about this position is given here: http://cfpub.epa.gov/ordpd/PostDoc_Position.cfm?pos_id=918.
General information on the EPA’s postdoctoral program is available at http://cfpub.epa.gov/ordpd/index.cfm
