Position Title: PhD in Urban Complex Systems with a focus on Climate Resilience

Department: Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) and Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), Tandon School of Engineering, New York University

Description:
The Climate Resilient Cities Lab, led by Dr. Anamika Shreevastava, is seeking 1-2 motivated PhD candidates for positions starting in Fall 2025. The successful candidates will engage in cutting-edge research aimed at advancing urban resilience in the face of a changing climate. The lab is driven by critical questions such as: How can cities better prepare for future climate extremes? Can innovative urban design mitigate extreme heat and improve public health outcomes? What sustainable growth strategies can benefit rapidly developing cities? Students will explore topics such as urban heat dynamics, climate adaptation strategies, green infrastructure, and the integration of climate data into urban planning. This PhD will be granted by the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) and is part of the Urban Complex Systems track at NYU CUSP. In addition to working within NYU’s interdisciplinary research environment, students will have the unique opportunity to intern at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The successful candidate will receive full financial support, including tuition coverage, competitive stipends, and travel funding for conferences and internships.

Application Process:
Interested candidates should apply to the NYU Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering PhD program (Link: https://engineering.nyu.edu/admissions/graduate). Please mention your interest in the Climate Resilient Cities Lab in your application. Additionally, send your CV and a cover letter outlining your research interests to Dr. Anamika Shreevastava at anamika.shreevastava at nyu.edu<mailto:anamika.shreevastava at nyu.edu>.
