We invite applications for a PhD-level graduate student based at the Department of Geography and Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy (InCHIP), University of Connecticut (UConn)-Storrs. The PhD student is expected to have interest and foundational skills in data visualization and digital cartography skills using GIS software packages (QGIS, ArcGIS/Pro), statistical analysis (R, SPSS), and programming languages (Python). The student will apply these data analytic skills to research projects on understanding the impact of social inequities and injustices such as racial and class discrimination, gender biases, and poverty, on health disparities, the disproportionate impact of climate, and overall well-being of BIPOC communities. The student will not only contribute to the ongoing research projects but have ample opportunities to identify related topics for dissertation research and will be mentored and supported in future career goals by an interdisciplinary group of faculties from Geography and InCHIP.

Please contact Dr. Debs Ghosh (debarchana.ghosh@uconn.edu) with your interests and/or additional information.
Thank you.
