The two specialized areas are urban design and urban science. We combine teaching and research by emphasizing practical aspects of urbanization, such as architecture, urban design, and urban development. We examine urban transformation in digital smart cities, emphasizing multidisciplinary aspects of urban planning, urban data science, urban ecology, and urban geography. More specifically, the three research areas are (1) Planning for sustainable post-pandemic cities in the framework of digital urban transformation; (2) Planning for the growth of climate responsive low-carbon cities in the context of GHG mitigation; (3) Planning for environmentally sensitive urban green infrastructure using social sensing techniques.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">LOUD<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span style=\"color:black\">concentrates on the successful practices of urban development in China. Building on both domestic and international experiences, we carry our research and practice in and beyond the Yangtze River Delta region, adapting scenarios in applied research and consultation, committed to carrying out high-quality practical exploration, forming innovative typical cases, and providing valuable policy suggestions.<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:black; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">As the first key laboratory of NYU Shanghai, we have gained full support from the school in the academic activity and beyond. We have a multidisciplinary team of scholars and students in the field of urban planning and design, urban ecology, urban geography, and data science. The key laboratory platform is passionate to bridge for overseas and Chinese scholars to exchange their thoughts and strengthen cooperation. The key laboratory established domestic collaboration with Tongji University, East China Normal University, Southeast University and Peking University in China, NYU Wagner, University of Chicago, Harvard University, and University of Oxford by selecting high-quality candidates of Masters and Ph.D. For more information, please refer to LOUD&#8217;s website:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/urban.shanghai.nyu.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">https:\/\/urban.shanghai.nyu.edu\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\"><strong>Application<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">To apply, please email the following to <a href=\"mailto:shanghai.loud@nyu.edu\">shanghai.loud@nyu.edu<\/a> with the title of &#8220;The application for NYU Shanghai-Oxford postdoc + last name_first name&#8221;:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">A cover letter giving a brief description of previous research experience, motivation for why you are applying for this position<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">Research proposal.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">A curriculum vitae.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">A full list of publications and writing samples.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">Proof of completed PhD degree (for PhD candidate send proof of All-But-Dissertation status).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">TWO reference letters (or the contact information of two individuals familiar with your academic work), which can be submitted if entering the second round.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0e101a; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NYU Shanghai in partnership with University of Oxford Postdoctoral Program in Urban Studies \u00a0 Shanghai Key Laboratory of Urban Design and Urban Science (LOUD), NYU Shanghai is offering postdoctoral positions in urban planning &amp; design, urban ecology, urban geography, and urban data science, sponsored by the postdoc program of LOUD at NYU Shanghai in partnership &hellip; <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/2022\/11\/10\/nyu-shanghai-in-partnership-with-university-of-oxford-postdoctoral-program-in-urban-studies\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":192,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[21],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2972"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/192"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2972"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2973,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2972\/revisions\/2973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-planning.org\/alpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
