About This Opportunity

This PhD scholarship explores how changes in neighbourhood walkability influence cardiovascular health in older adults, using geospatial analysis and mixed-methods research. The project sits at the intersection of urban health, geospatial science, and aging research, examining how neighbourhood walkability impacts cardiovascular health using geospatial analysis and mixed-methods research in urban neighbourhoods. It is ideal for candidates interested in spatial epidemiology, built environment and health, or the role of urban design in chronic disease prevention. The candidate will join an interdisciplinary team and have opportunities to co-author publications and engage with international collaborators.
