I would like to bring to your attention this  fully funded Doctoral Opportunity for a 3 year Home/EU Student (July 2016 - May 2019) Alzheimer’s Society UK and Institute of Mental Health (IMH) at the University of Nottingham titled Scaling the Peaks; Understanding the needs and experiences of people affected by dementia in rural areas.

 

This will be a good opportunity for students who are interested in HealthGIS to apply.

To give some background, at the Nottingham Geospatial Institute, we are working on expanding our Geo Health Informatics research esp. looking into societal issues (Participatory Health Mapping, Geohazards, Spatial Clustering etc). So we see this as good opportunity for the student to also work with us for this research and future joint publications etc. Some examples of our previous research and publications specifically in HealthGIS  are:
