Fully Funded PhD Position at Leiden University, Netherlands: Environmental Impacts of Spatial Demographic Change (2027)

-
Image
Leiden University in the Netherlands is inviting applications for a PhD Researcher position in Environmental Impacts of Spatial Demographic Change. The position is based at the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML), within the Faculty of Science, and focuses on how population distribution, demographic changes, and urban development influence resource consumption, energy demand, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across Europe. This PhD project combines geospatial analysis, sustainability science, urban planning, material flow analysis, and life-cycle assessment to investigate how demographic trends—including population ageing, smaller households, and regional depopulation—shape future environmental impacts. The successful candidate will develop spatially detailed scenarios, analyse resource and energy requirements, and evaluate strategies such as adaptive reuse of vacant buildings and more efficient transport infrastructure. Applicants with a relevant master’s degree and experienc...
