Requirements

What we're looking for

You are pursuing a HBO (higher professional education) or WO (university) degree, for example in Environmental Management, Health Sciences, Urban Planning, Spatial Planning, Social Geography, Urbanism, or a similar program;
You are interested in the relationship between the living environment and healthy behavior and have preferably already gained experience in this during your studies;
You are curious and have a proactive work attitude;
You possess good communication skills and are able to work independently.

The role

Research how area development can contribute to a healthy living environment. During this internship, you will combine practical research, data analysis, and resident experiences to develop insights that are directly applied to future area developments.

What will you do as a Healthy Living Environment and Area Development intern?

As a Healthy Living Environment and Area Development intern, you will work on deepening and expanding knowledge about what truly works in healthy area developments. Together with a property developer, you will research how realized residential and living environments contribute to the healthy behavior of residents.

What you'll do

You will conduct user research among residents, mapping which interventions support residents in living healthier and which measures have less effect in practice. Additionally, you will help supplement and enrich the Healthy Living Environment measures database. Based on practical experiences, research, and literature, you will add new healthy interventions and interpret when and under which circumstances these are promising. In this way, you will make a concrete contribution to area development in which health, livability, and quality of life are central.

What you enjoy doing:

Conducting practical research and engaging in dialogue with residents;
Learning which physical and social interventions stimulate healthy behavior;
Analyzing data, experiences, and stories and translating them into insights;
Collaborating on concrete applications such as a measures database;
Contributing to healthier, more livable neighborhoods and districts.

Who will you work with?

You will become part of a multidisciplinary team in which colleagues from various departments of Antea Group work together on the theme of Healthy Living Environment. You will work closely with advisors in health, urban planning, and participation. In doing so, you will work closely with a property developer and also involve residents of realized projects to incorporate their experiences into the research.
