This may be of interest to some. -------- Forwarded Message -------- 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 &lt;hrk38(a)medschl.cam.ac.uk&gt; 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. /Please find below details of current vacancies at the MRC Epidemiology 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 * Full details www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/33207/ <https://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/33207/> *Research Associate/Senior Research Associate -**Statistician or data scientist in transport and health modelling (Fixed Term)* This appointment is an exciting opportunity for a highly quantitative researcher (data scientist or statistician) in the area of cities and health 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.
