I am emailing on behalf of MRC McLean Hazel Ltd, a Transport Consultancy
based in Edinburgh. We are supporting an ESRC CASE Studentship at the
University of St Andrews' School of Geography. They are currently inviting
applications for a PhD studentship studying "Quality of Life and Travel
Complexity in the Changing Urban Environment".
This PhD studentship will use complex secondary datasets to explore how
travel patterns and behaviour (including commuting and other trips) have
changed over time in urban Britain. The project will study the role of
demographic restructuring, including the growth of more single person
households, on travel patterns as well as geographical variations in travel
behaviour between cities, towns and rural areas in GB. Of particular
interest will be the links between travel and quality of life, including
health, housing, social inclusion and general well-being.
The studentship requires the applicant to have a masters degree in a
relevant social science discipline. Applications from individuals with
applied or business/industrial experience are also welcome.
Application: Applicants should submit the following items to
[log in to unmask]:
(i) a full CV (including a full academic history)

the project and how your skills, attributes and experience make you a good

Funding Details: ESRC CASE: UK fees + maintenance, EU normally fees only (In

consultancy)
