You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team and engage with external partners, including city authorities and industry stakeholders in the UK and internationally.

Essential:

A degree (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline (e.g. Transport, Urban Studies, Geography, Behavioural Science, Data Science)
Experience conducting research involving human participants, including ethical approval processes
Ability to analyse qualitative and/or quantitative data
Strong organisational and communication skills
Familiarity with at least one data analysis tool (e.g. R, Python, or SPSS)
Understanding of research ethics and data management

Desirable:

A Master’s degree (or near completion)
Experience using GIS software (ArcGIS or QGIS)
Experience of stakeholder engagement
Interest in sustainable transport, micromobility, or urban mobility

Informal enquiries are welcome: Dr Guilhermina Torrao ([email protected])
