Fully-Funded PhD Studentship: Health Impacts of Low Carbon Dwellings
This
interdisciplinary PhD project will focus on the health impacts associated with a
range of future domestic energy generation/consumption scenarios for the UK. The
study will include an exposure assessment taking into account pollution/heat
sources, human behaviour and building characteristics, such as ventilation
rates, insulation, and entrainment of outdoor air into the indoor
environment. A range
of quantitative exposure assessment techniques will be explored, tested and
improved. This will involve literature surveys, use and development of
mathematical models, and statistical analysis of datasets.
The
studentship is available with immediate effect at the Public and Environmental
Health Research Unit of LSHTM, or the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies
(Faculty of the Built Environment) at UCL through the project PUrE-INTRAWISE
(Pollutants in the Urban Environment - An Integrated Framework for Improving
Sustainability of the Indoor Environment). Applicants may choose to apply for
this position either to LSHTM or UCL (but not both). The applicant should choose
which institution to apply to according to their scientific background and
interests. For further details, application forms and eligibility criteria,
