Subject: 2 job openings and a webinar on pathways between
transportation and health
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2022 23:23:51 +0000
From: Haneen Khreis <hrk38(a)medschl.cam.ac.uk>
Dear all,
I wanted to share with you two job openings at the University of
Cambridge in our team, please see below. I would appreciate if you can
share with your colleagues and through your channels (@WCTRS
<mailto:wctrs@leeds.ac.uk>: Emma, please share this with the WCTRS
mailing list). The deadline is *14 February 2022.*
Second, I will be giving a webinar on pathways between transportation
and health linkages which builds on some of our joint work, this will be
on the 4^th of February and the details of this are here:
https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/expert-webinar-series-tickets-230456370207.
Please share widely.
Many thanks,
Hanee.

Unit, University of Cambridge./
*Research Associate - Urban geography and analytics (Fixed Term)*This
post is an exciting opportunity for a spatial researcher to play a
leading role in the development of statistical and simulation models of
the built environment, transport and health for cities around the world.
The position will be based in the Unit's multidisciplinary Public Health
Modelling team, and will be part of the multidisciplinary European
Research Council GLASST project. The GLASST project
<https://www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/research/studies/glasst/> is led by
Prof. Woodcock, with collaborators at TU Munich, ISGlobal (Barcelona),
University of Chicago, the University of Oxford, and the MRC
BioStatistics Unit. In GLASST we are i) developing methods for
comparison of stochastic simulation models, ii) integrating health into
transport models (travel demand and land use models), iii) developing
city level models of transport for cities in Latin America, India,
Africa, and Europe. The post holder will also contribute to the JIBE
project (co-led with Prof Billie Giles-Corti), a project that brings
together experts from Australia and the UK to link models of health
impacts to built environment measures.
* Closing date *14 February 2022*
* Interviews will likely be held on 9th and 10th March 2022
* Informal enquiries to Professor James Woodcock, jw745(a)medschl.cam.ac.uk
