The Institute of Environmental Sciences (Faculty of Science at Leiden University) is looking for:
**Project**:
Are you an enthusiastic early career researcher who is keen to contribute to biodiverse and climate resilient cities and peri-urban landscapes? Then this could be the ideal PhD position for you
The PhD research will contribute to understanding the future of urban areas, embedded in the broader physical and policy landscape. You will investigate how current policy and management measures in (peri)urban areas affect biodiversity and climate resilience, and how these measures interact with a changing climate and environmental conditions. By working closely with societal stakeholders, the research will help co-create tools to support planning and monitoring of nature-climate interactions. You will combine methods based in natural science with citizen science or governance approaches to create knowledge with societal relevance and credibility.
Preferred starting date is February 2025.
**Selection criteria**
- A completed MSc degree in environmental science, ecology, (physical) geography, urban planning, sustainability or a related field;
- Affinity with co-creating and co-producing research with diverse societal actors
- A good understanding of (urban) ecological systems
- Affinity with spatial analysis and/or modelling
- Ability to integrate knowledge on governance processes and urban ecosystems to inform policy and planning
- A team player with a collaborative attitude and ability to work within a team
- English language proficiency - we value experience with scientific writing.
- Dutch language proficiency in reading and speaking, or the willingness to acquire this during the first two years of the PhD
