RESEARCH POST: SPATIAL MODELLING OF CITY REGIONS Department of Architecture University of Cambridge Salary: £27,319 - £35,646 pa or £36,715 - £46,510 pa The University of Cambridge is leading the ReVISIONS research project, a consortium of six universities funded by EPSRC, to research how different patterns of spatial development of city-regions can affect sustainability. The aim is to understand how urban density, settlement size and spatial form may affect the potential for infrastructure technologies to improve sustainability. Further information about the ReVISIONS project can be found at www.regionalvisions.ac.uk<http://www.regionalvisions.ac.uk> Applications are invited for the following research position: The role of this post is to create an interface between a socio-economic land use model and the supply characteristics for urban form, energy, water, waste and transport. It will incorporate regional spatial constraints and be linked to an online user interface. The aim is to use this integrated modelling framework to test options for spatial planning policy and infrastructure provision to identify the most sustainable combinations. The successful applicant is likely to have a background in engineering, geography, transport planning, economics, environmental science, or mathematics. Experience and expertise in GIS and spatial analysis are essential. Knowledge of geographic and geo-demographic statistics and computer programming such as Java, C++ or C# would be an advantage. Applicants should have proven academic ability, and an interest in researching the sustainability of the built environment within a quantitative framework, in collaboration with multi-disciplinary research partners.
