Research Assistant (Fixed term - 30 months)
Propensity To Fly: the development of stated choice models for air travel
£21,467 to £22,774 per annum
A Research Assistant is required for the ‘Propensity to Fly’ research
project, funded by the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council), within the Transport Studies Group.
Individuals are flying more than ever before and over greater distances. The
boom in low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and easyJet has made air travel
more affordable and is stimulating leisure and increasingly business
demand. The timely ‘Propensity to Fly’ project aims to assess the
propensity, or likelihood, of individuals to fly, particularly for leisure
trips. It concerns the development of stated choice models to assess this
propensity, and how it varies across different segments of the population.
Data for these modelling and segmentation tasks will largely come from a
questionnaire survey of individual flying preferences in the East Midlands
region.
Applicants should have 2 years’ research experience in transport or related
discipline, be highly motivated and possess a good honours degree, or
equivalent, in a transport or related discipline. It is anticipated that
the successful candidate will take up the post between August and November
2006.
Informal enquiries about the post may be made to Dr Tim Ryley, e-mail
