美国波士顿大学 城市生物地球科学与 环境健康研究生项目 招收全奖博士 Position Introduction More than half of the world’s population lives in cities and this proportion will grow in the next few decades. People living in cities can face elevated levels of air and water pollution and extreme weather events such as heat waves and storm surges. The mission of the Boston University Graduate Program in Urban Biogeoscience and Environmental Health (“BU URBAN”) is to prepare Ph.D. students to tackle urban environmental challenges using interdisciplinary methods and a co-production approach centered on partnerships with governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.
