Tobias Rüttenauer

Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Sociology

Research Interests: Environmental inequality, urban sociology, migration trajectories, quantitative research methods.

I am a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Sociology at Nuffield College, Oxford. Before joining the College, I worked as a postdoctoral research assistant at the Department for Social Sciences at the University of Kaiserslautern. I received an M.A. in Sociology from the LMU Munich and a Dr. phil in Sociology from the University of Kaiserslautern.

In my previous work, I analysed the disproportionate environmental burden of minorities in Germany by using geographic information systems and spatial regression models. My current research focuses on environmental inequality, selective migration trajectories, and spatial demography. Besides that, I am also interested in quantitative spatial research methods, longitudinal regression models, and computational social science.
