Heat, Mobility, and Cities
Extreme heat is increasingly shaping everyday life in cities. This project uses large-scale mobility and climate data to quantify how human mobility changes under extreme heat across U.S. neighborhoods.
Students will gain hands-on experience working with spatial and mobility data and will be exposed to research at the intersection of urban planning, mobility, and climate adaptation.
Students will assist with tasks such as:
- Writing code to analyze mobility data using R or Stata
- Producing tables and figures
Successful RAs will be detail-oriented and able to commit approximately 10 hours per week.
Requisite Skills and Qualifications:
- Proficiency in R or Stata
- Experience with spatial data is a plus
