The Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning has developed the challenging research programme ‘Urban Futures: Transitions towards Economic and Social Sustainable Cities’. In this programme faculty members from different sub disciplines of human geography and spatial planning work closely together on topics like urban accessibility, urban infrastructures, healthy urban living, urban inequalities and diversities, transnational mobilities, smart urban governance, economic resilience and networks and flows in and between urban regions. The Department is also responsible for the undergraduate programme in Human Geography and Spatial Planning and for a number of graduate programmes like Human Geography (urban and economic geography), Spatial Planning, International Development Studies and GIS.
This assistant professor position will be in close cooperation with the new to appoint chair on Urban Accessibility and Social Inclusion. The research field focusses on the accessibility of urban regions and the implications for daily activity and travel behaviour, social inclusion and well-being. These relationships are studied in the context of transitions in urban policies (such as the transition toward circular and healthy cities) and technological and organizational developments in transportation systems (such as car and bicycle share systems, and increasingly autonomous vehicles). Much emphasis is put on citizens longer (location choices) and shorter (daily travel) responses to such changes, and their implications for participation in the workforce, social networks, health behaviours and overall well-being. These topics are studied in both national and international contexts, increasingly including the Global South. The research in the Urban Accessibility and Social Inclusion group will connect to researchers in other areas of the Urban Futures programme, such as Healthy Urban Living and Diversity and Inequality.
We are looking for a colleague who shows leadership and who initiates new research projects within the ‘Urban Futures’ research program, both independently and in collaboration with other researchers of the Department Human Geography and Planning and external partners. The new assistant professor will also have teaching tasks in BSc- and MSc-programs. We envisage positions with 0.4 FTE research and 0.6 FTE teaching for the next two years of appointment.
We seek highly motivated candidates who hold a PhD in Transport Geography or a related field. If you:
