The MAPS Lab is housed within the Department of Geography at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. The Lab team, under the leadership of Dr. Kevin Henry, includes graduate and undergraduate students interested in the fields of medical and health geography.
The lab primarily focuses on applying spatial analysis and statistical approaches for describing and understanding place-based and geographic disparities in health and disease, with a specific emphasis on applied geographic methods and the role geographic factors play on cancer outcomes and prevention.
I expect to accept a PhD. student for entry in Fall 2024. I look for potential graduate students who have professional experiences, a strong academic record, quantitative skills, and an interest in pursuing research in medical/health geography that are generally aligned with the lab’s research.
