Are you an experienced Research Associate in a field of study relevant to urban nature who is available for a fixed term contract to assist in an international research project on nature and mental wellbeing? Do you hold strong quantitative and qualitative research skills and a good understanding of the debate around green social prescribing and/or nature and mental health and wellbeing? If yes, then this role will be ideal for you.
The University of Kent, School of Arts and Architecture invites applications for a Research Associate to work on the interdisciplinary 4-year Horizon Europe project GreenME (Advancing green care in Europe: an integrated multi-scalar approach for the expansion of nature-based therapies to improve mental health equity). Collaborating with Dr Silvio Caputo, you will have a key role in delivering the work package 4, and in supporting work in other work packages.
Work package 4 focuses on the development of spatial analyses in selected case studies as well as large-scale citizens’ surveys on the use of green and blue infrastructures, the mental health benefits deriving from them, and people’s perspectives on natures health benefits and barriers individuals have to accessing nature. The spatial analysis also requires auditing a sample of green and blue spaces, therefore availability to travel within the UK to visit such spaces is necessary.
