Postdoctoral Position in Urban Expansion
1 week ago
We invite applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position focusing on urban expansion and associated conversion of natural areas within African cities.
The position is part of the research project "Urban Encroachment – Untangling Drivers and Dynamics of Land-use Transitions in Ecologically Sensitive Areas" funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
The project aims to identify and promote more sustainable trajectories of urban expansion in African cities, addressing the trade-off between economic growth and environmental protection.
The researcher will be responsible for:
- Developing and conducting spatial analyses of urban expansion trends
- Collaborating with the PI and PhD student
- Conducting fieldwork among local actors and policymakers
To be successful, the candidate should have a track record of relevant academic publications based on spatial analysis methodologies, proficiency in remote sensing and GIS-based methodologies, and an interest in collaborative research.
