About us
Research in the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) focuses on building a science of cities from a multidisciplinary base, drawing on cutting edge methods and ideas in modelling, complexity, visualisation and computation. This is related to the pursuit of solutions to the grand challenges that affect our cities such as climate change, housing and economic development. Our current mix of architects, planners, geographers, mathematicians, physicists, transport engineers, and computer scientists make CASA a unique and world-leading unit within the Faculty of the Built Environment at UCL.

This role is part of the ENHANCE project – a Driving Urban Transitions European consortium project investigating the application of the 15 Minute City concept for improving transport sustainability in outer metropolitan areas and small cities. The main research tasks will be quantitative spatial and behavioural analysis, including accessibility analysis using GIS and network analysis tools; and travel behaviour analysis using travel diary and census data, with a particular focus on active travel (walking and cycling). The role requires working closely with academics at the Centre of Advanced Spatial Analysis UCL, as well as collaborating with academic partners in the Netherlands and Portugal, and societal partners in UK city government. The post is available from 01.07.24, on a part-time basis (0.5FTE/ 18.25 hours per week) and is funded until 22.12.25 in the first instance.
