Could listmembers please draw the attention of potential PhD students to the
following opportunity; apologies for cross-posting.
PhD studentship
This studentship is funded jointly by EPSRC and ESRC, on New Residential
Developments and Quality of Life in South East England, supervised jointly
by John Mohan (School of social sciences) and Alan Bloodworth (School of
civil engineering and the environment). This studentship will combine a
study of the residential environments of new developments built at different
periods of time (e.g. 1980s, 1990s, 2000s) with an investigation of
perceptions, on the part of residents of those neighbourhoods, of the extent
to which they provide a high quality of life. A similar study will be
undertaken of neighbourhoods in which the existing housing stock has been
extensively refurbished. The studentship will also look at the feasibility
of developing small-area indicators of environmental quality. The emphasis
will be on examining the inter-relationships between social and physical
infrastructure in developing residential neighbourhoods with a high quality
of life.
The studentship is available on a +3 basis to those with an appropriate
first degree in in architecture, civil engineering, geography
and related social sciences, planning, or social statistics. Further
particulars are at:
