PhDs in Geo-information & Spatial Planning

PhD in Environmental Studies (multidisciplinary)

IVM’s mission is to contribute to sustainable development and care for the environment through scientific research and teaching. A unique feature of the institute is the capacity to conduct environmental studies in their societal and economic context by integrating natural and social science perspectives. IVM research is organised within four departments: Chemistry and Biology, Environmental Economics, Environmental Policy Analysis, and Spatial Analysis and Decision Support.

PhD in Assistant / Associate Professor Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Socio-ecological Systems

The applicant will be based in the Department of Spatial Analysis and Decision Support at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). The department investigates the role of spatial variation in environmental systems to increase our understanding of environmental change and support environmental management.

PhD in PhD Position Global Land Use Change Modeling

The applicant will be based in the Department of Spatial Analysis and Decision Support of the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). The department investigates the role of spatial variation in environmental systems to increase the understanding of environmental change and support environmental management. Methods include monitoring environmental change by remote sensing and multi-scale analysis of spatial patterns and processes.

PhD in National Centre for Geocomputing

National University of Ireland, Maynooth

The National Centre for Geocomputation (NCG) was established at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (NUIM) through the award of a Research Fellowship to Prof. A. Stewart Fotheringham by Science Foundation Ireland. The Centre is a resource for those interested in any aspect of the capture, storage, integration, management, retrieval, display, analysis or modelling of spatial data.

PhD in Geomatics

Newcastle University

PhD supervision is normally available in the following areas: Satellite geodesy; Geospatial Engineering.

PhD in From Regional to Local Climate Adaptation - the Decisive Role of Local Agents

University of Kassel

Adaptation to the climate change challenge on a regional scale needs action both on regional and local levels. As a main hindrance lacks in actor-specific communication reduce the speed of behavioural changes and the implementation of measures. There is a need for convincing arguments to change behaviour on different scales and institutional as well as daily life surroundings. Often different perspectives of social groups on their vulnerability are not very clear or neglected. Thus, agents (in terms of principal-agent-theory) should be focussed as local actors because their behaviour and decisions on specific adaptation measures are crucial levels of change.

PhD in Biological Responses to Physical-chemical Pressures in River-coastal Basins

Radboud University Nijmegen

The Department of Environmental Science was founded in 1991. Our mission is: (1) Research in environmental science, (2) Education of BSc, MSc and PhD students (3) Service to society.We aim to understand and predict biological responses to physical and chemical pressures. Our research focus is on the impact of reconstruction and pollution on plant, animal and human populations in the rivers and estuaries of the Rhine and Meuse basin.

PhD in Heterogeneity and Connectivity in Riverine and Riparian Ecosystems – Implications for Climate Change

University of Aberdeen

The Northern Rivers Institute, School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen, Scotland seeks applicants for a PhD studentship. Experience in statistical and/or numerical analyses, GIS, biology and hydrology, and/ or environmental tracer applications would be advantageous.

PhD in Environment

Cardiff University

The Cardiff School of City and Regional Planning is a major international centre for research in the areas of planning, environment, housing and spatial policy.

PhD in Spatial Planning and Urban Development

Politecnico Di Milano

The PhD Program in Spatial Planning and Urban Development is addressed to foreign and Italian students and is fully taught in English. The program is focused upon research, and is intended to educate planners able to establish a dialogue with the experiences of the best European and International PhD programs in planning, urban policies and design, urban studies.

PhD in Town and Regional Planning

University of Dundee

At present, The Geddes Institute has students registered for PhDs in subjects closely related to staff interests and research commissions. The research themes include planning and development, housing studies, social justice and planning and property development. There is a strong international dimension to this research portfolio.

PhD in Graduate School of Architecture and the Built Environment

Delft University of Technology

The Graduate School for Architecture and the Built Environment [A+BE] is TU Delft's framework for your PhD study in architecture, building technology, urbanism, landscape architecture, geomatics, management of the built environment and housing, covering aspects such as history, cultural heritage, and sustainability.
