*Healthy Environments Research Programme PhD Studentship*
*Neighbourhood food environment and diet in Pittsburgh, USA*
The Healthy Environments Research Programme (HERP) in the Department of
Geography, Queen Mary, University of London in collaboration with RAND,
Pittsburgh, USA invites applications for a three-year Queen Mary College
Studentship commencing in October 2010.
This studentship will capitalise on an exciting opportunity to be
involved in a large 5-year project funded by the US National Institutes
of Health investigating the role of the neighbourhood environment on
diet in Pittsburgh, USA. This studentship will capitalise on data
generated by this project and/or allows scope for a complementary study
to take place within the context of the larger project. The final
project will be defined by the student in collaboration with the
supervisors. The project will involve travel and fieldwork in Pittsburgh
and there may be significant opportunities to work with a number US
colleagues at RAND, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of
Illinois, Chicago.
The award is available as a three year Queen Mary College Studentship.
The project will be supervised by Dr Steven Cummins and Dr Dianna Smith
(Queen Mary) and Dr Tamara Dubowitz (RAND Pittsburgh, USA).
Candidates should have a good first degree with a strong social
scientific component (minimum 2.1). A relevant Masters degree would also
be preferred (Geography, GIS, Epidemiology, Public Health, Environmental
Psychology, Medical Sociology, Public Health Nutrition and related
areas). Applications from individuals with applied or business and
industrial experience are also welcome.
