Postdoctoral Fellow in Spatial Modeling of Nature Experience and Health

The Gund Institute for Environment at UVM<https://www.uvm.edu/gund> and UVM Complex Systems Center<https://vermontcomplexsystems.org/education/phd/> seek an exceptional scientist for a new Postdoctoral Fellowship in Spatial Modeling of Nature Exposure and Health. This postdoc will develop rigorous and practical spatial models relating natural areas and human behavior to health and well-being outcomes.

The postdoc will join the Lived Experiences Measured Using Rings Study (LEMURS)<https://vermontcomplexsystems.org/lemurs/>. LEMURS is an ongoing longitudinal cohort study aimed at understanding and incentivizing healthy behaviors. The postdoctoral fellow will work with daily nature exposure data from a cohort of approximately 500 participants enrolled during fall 2024 and will have the opportunity to help guide interventions that will be deployed during the fall 2025. We expect the postdoc to publish findings in international peer-reviewed journals.

The Fellow will be based at the Gund Institute and will join a growing cohort of <https://www.uvm.edu/node/246849> Gund<https://www.uvm.edu/node/246849> <https://www.uvm.edu/node/246849> Postdocs<https://www.uvm.edu/node/246849>.<https://www.uvm.edu/node/246849> The Fellow will also become a member of the Complex Systems Center, representing an interdisciplinary bridge between these two centers of excellence at UVM. The primary advisors will be <https://www.uvm.edu/gund/profiles/taylor-ricketts> Laura Bloomfield<https://www.uvm.edu/gund/profiles/laura-bloomfield> and <https://www.uvm.edu/gund/profiles/taylor-ricketts> Taylor Ricketts<https://www.uvm.edu/gund/profiles/taylor-ricketts>.

The Gund Institute for Environment<https://www.uvm.edu/gund> at the University of Vermont<https://www.uvm.edu/> is a research center dedicated to understanding and tackling the world’s most critical environmental challenges. Driven by the belief that research should inspire action, the Institute takes a cross-sector approach to solving environmental issues with stakeholders from government, business, and broader society.

The UVM Complex Systems Center is housed in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. It is the home to educational programs that provide strong computational and theoretical training in methods for describing and understanding complex systems and predicting, controlling, managing, and creating such systems.
