Environmental Studies, Urban Planning, Social Sciences, Data Science, Public Policy Are you passionate about driving positive change for marginalized communities through climate action and innovative urban planning? If your academic ambitions are centered on creating just, inclusive, and resilient cities in the face of environmental and technological challenges, the PhD opportunity at the University of British Columbia (UBC) may be the ideal next step in your scholarly journey. About the University The University of British Columbia, located in Vancouver, Canada, is a leading research-intensive university known for excellence, diversity, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Its School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) focuses on addressing societal and environmental issues through research and engagement. Research Topic and Significance This PhD position centers on participatory climate action planning and transdisciplinary learning, with a focus on ensuring information and knowledge are leveraged to build healthy, just, and inclusive futures—especially for society’s most marginalized groups. The research addresses equitable urban climate adaptation as cities confront environmental and technological change. Project Details The PhD opportunity is supervised by Dr. Theo Lim, whose work spans social and policy sciences, community organizing, data science, and hydrological modeling. The research uses participatory action research, qualitative social science methods, and quantitative socio-environmental systems modeling. A recent focus has been a participatory action research project in Roanoke, Virginia, on urban heat mitigation, with a trauma-informed, healing-centered approach and involvement from youth in defining “community resilience.” Candidate Profile Have a strong academic background in environmental studies, urban planning, social sciences, public policy, data science, or related fields. Demonstrate interest in participatory research, climate action, and social justice. Be motivated to work at the intersection of research, policy, and community engagement. Possess skills or experience in qualitative and/or quantitative research methods, including participatory action research, systems modeling, or community-based approaches. Value interdisciplinary collaboration and commitment to equity and inclusion in urban environments. Be open-minded, self-driven, and eager to contribute to real-world solutions. Application Process For details visit: scarp.ubc.ca/phd or the LinkedIn post referenced in the original description. This position may have additional application instructions on the program site. Conclusion If you are committed to advancing climate justice and want to be part of transformative research that empowers marginalized communities, consider applying for this PhD opportunity at UBC.
