Research Fellow in Household Travel Behaviour Change
Salary: Grade 7 (£38,205 – £45,585 p.a. depending on experience)
We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
Would you like to be part of a major collaborative research programme to help tackle transport’s contribution to the climate crisis? Are you looking to apply your research skills to assess and shape transitions towards sustainable mobility systems? Do you thrive on working in an exciting and creative environment committed to making a difference?
Inspiring Futures for Zero Carbon Mobility (INFUZE) is a major £7.8m five-year research grant funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Working across the Universities of Leeds, Lancaster and the Royal College of Art INFUZE is seeking to achieve transformative change in how transport works, addressing the climate challenge whilst improving fairness and quality of life. INFUZE is an exciting new collaboration which will work with citizens and businesses to re-imagine our transport systems. The programme will build an increasingly ambitious suite of real-world trials with communities, transport providers and government partners.
We are looking to recruit a passionate and committed researcher to drive forward our work on assessing possible transitions away from individualised car ownership. The candidate will require expertise in the statistical analysis of trends in individual and household travel patterns and aspirations over time, with experience in the analysis of secondary data sources as well as in the design of bespoke surveys. This work will have a direct interface with stakeholders and mobility service providers, so we are particularly seeking applicants who are comfortable working with external stakeholders to co-create data sources and analysis plans and creatively present the results of the analysis.
