主题: [SIMSOC] PhD Studentship on sustainable city regions - University of Cambridge

EPSRC PhD studentship
University of Cambridge - Department of Architecture

ReVISIONS project on sustainable city regions The Martin Centre, Department 
of Architecture, University of Cambridge, UK

The emergence of world city regions is a challenge to sustainability 
targets as populations increase and people develop more affluent 
lifestyles. The ReVISIONS project is investigating whether particular 
spatial planning policies in conjunction with 'green' infrastructure 
technologies and regulations can make city regions more sustainable.

This project is led by the Martin Centre at the University of Cambridge and 
will produce guidance for decision makers on the interrelationships between 
regional spatial planning, infrastructure design and economic 
competitiveness. The aim is to reduce environmental impacts and allow 
households to live more sustainably, with better health and an enhanced 
quality of life. This is four year multi-disciplinary project involving six 
universities. For further information see, www.regionalvisions.ac.uk 
Applications are invited for an EPSRC-funded PhD studentship to research a 
topic related to the general subject area of the ReVISIONS project. This 
ranges from planning and design to more quantitative modelling of the 
interaction between the design of the built environment and user behaviour. 
We can provide guidance on a suitable topic providing that an applicant can 
demonstrate original thinking and motivation to research a particular 
subject area. The student will be supervised by Professor Echenique, a 
world renowned authority on land use and transport or by Dr Tony 
Hargreaves, depending on the research topic. Applicants should be numerate 
with an interest in the built environment.

Applicants should have, or expect to be awarded, a good first degree or 
master's degree. The studentship will cover tuition fees and a tax-free 
maintenance stipend of 13,290 per annum (for three years). Candidates must 
meet the ESPRC funding eligibility requirements (see: 
http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/funding/students/Pages/eligibility.aspx) To apply, 
please write to Samantha Archetti at the address below with a covering 
letter and a full CV (including contact details for at least two academic 
referees plus marks/grades achieved on current courses). The covering 
letter should outline the general subject area(s) that you are interested 
in researching, and a clear statement of your eligibility for this ESPRC 
funded award. The closing date for applications is 7th April 2010. 
Interviews will be held at the end of April.
