The successful candidate is invited to engage with inequalities in all its dimensions (social, spatial, environmental). Thematic-wise in research, the focus could be put on for example the developments in socio-spatial disparities in mobilities, housing, employment and urban amenities, exposures to environmental risks and health. To that purpose, use can be made of rich data sets in our observatories on socio-spatial developments, housing and spatial dynamics and other data sources. The Urban Development and Mobility department brings together researchers from geography, economics, sociology, and urban planning who draw on both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, with a strong spatial analysis component. The department has two research teams: Living with Urban Dynamics, focused on individual behaviours related to flexible living, health & space and urban analytics, and Governance of Urban Dynamics, working on cross-border integration, housing, land & planning and networks of finance. The department offers tailored support for those interested in developing research proposals for competitive funding opportunities. More information on the department can be found here: https://www.liser.lu/?type=module&id=149 Local and regional observatories: Social observatories are in place in the cities of Esch-sur-Alzette (since 2019), Luxembourg (2020), Schifflange (2022) and Dudelange (2024). The aim of these social observatories is to regularly monitor and analyze the social situation in these cities, in order to inform policymakers about challenging social issues and support policy-making. An example of a recent report can be found here: https://schifflange.lu/2023/04/20/observatoire-social-de-la-commune-de-schifflange/ .

More information on the Housing Observatory is available here: https://logement.public.lu/fr/observatoire-habitat.html . The Spatial Development Observatory was founded in 2007 and is a collaboration between LISER and the Ministry of Energy and Spatial Planning.
