Would you like to be part of a major collaborative research initiative to help tackle transport’s contribution to the climate crisis?

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. To deliver on our ambitions requires a committed and passionate member of the team who will work with our partners, researchers and the public and help ensure that our activities are professionally delivered and highly impactful.
As Trial Officer, you will work with the Principal Investigator, Programme Manager, Project Officer and other team members and project partners to support the delivery of the project’s programme of trials and wider citizen and stakeholder engagement. You will undertake a central project support role working with and reporting to the Programme Manager.
