We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Nature and Human Health and Wellbeing. The researcher would conduct innovative research exploring the relationships between exposure to nature/biodiversity and human mental or physical health, as part of a multidisciplinary team. The exact nature of this research is not specific: we welcome applications from a broad range of disciplines, including the natural, social and medical sciences and the humanities. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome.
Example topics include research on the mechanisms by which nature exposure benefits health, use of geospatial data to look at the relationships between green space access and public health, and research into how nature exposure in schools affects wellbeing outcomes. The researcher is expected to shape their own research agenda within this theme while also being part of a collaborative multidisciplinary team across many departments.
The post holder will be part of the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery and also of the Flourishing and Wellbeing Theme of the Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre.
The successful candidate holds a relevant PhD/DPhil in a relevant discipline according to the exact focus of research. Experience in research related to nature experience, biodiversity, climate change or a related area.
