Dear colleagues, I will be co-supervising two fully-funded PhD projects at the cross of demography/GIScience and am looking for candidates for these positions. Both projects will investigate short- and long-term effects of air pollution and extreme weather events on health and mortality, one in the wider context of UK and the second one focusing on ethnic groups in Scotland. Projects will require development of new data fusion methods for longitudinal and environmental data (meteorological, air quality data, etc.) and application and innovation in spatial statistics to deal with large fused data sets. We are looking for students with a degree in any area of social, environmental and health sciences (including statistics and applied mathematics), with interest in methodological research and specifically in development of new quantitative methods for spatio-temporal analysis. More information here: https://wp.me/p4PBDq-5N Both positions start in October 2019, but have different application DLs (10 April/10 May 2019). Please, pass this on to anyone who might be interested. Thank you in advance and I wish you a good weekend!
